– 4 times a week approximately 100 minutes of independent work on the digital material provided by the teacher.

The course:

• is based on schemes of work

• all learners are assessed and will be issued a certificate outlining their skills level

• is intended for learners who are autonomous (internet research) and who are ready to invest some time outside of the classroom to develop their skills inherent to socio-professional life.

EVALUATION

Learners will be assessed continuously throughout the session and on the basis of a final oral test. They will receive a certificate outlining their level in the four skills (reading, writing, listening and speaking).
