TYPE DE COURS

This workshop (3 times a week, for one semester) offers a combination of classroom and distance learning:

twice a week: a 100-minute face-to-face lesson at the INL.

+ once a week: approximately 100 minutes of independent work on the online material provided by the teacher.

Both courses are compulsory and complementary.

This workshop:

– is based on the skills outlined in the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR).

– is intended for people who want to maintain their language level or progress at a more relaxed pace. There might be additional work required outside of the classroom.

Learners are not assessed. No certificate outlining the skills level will be issued and the re-registration in a higher level course is not possible.

EVALUATION

A workshop is not subject to evaluation, and therefore does not entitle you to a skills assessment or re-registration in a higher level course.
