2nd Year French Programme

This programme gives students a valuable head start on the Junior Cert course as well as giving individual support and guidance with the CBAs. Students attend one weekly class (1.5 hours). The easier elements of the JC programme are covered with a huge emphasis on the aural part of the exam which is 35% of the Junior Cert grade. We also encourage our younger students to participate orally to make them more comfortable with their CBAs.

There is a mix of oral, listening, grammar and reading comprehensions in every class, to keep our students on their toes. We introduce the easier themes and vocab, all available in our 2nd Year packs and include games and activities to ensure students remember the material in a fun way. Due to the small numbers in each class, our teachers can adapt the lessons to suit each student’s needs.

What makes each of our students exceed their expectations in French is a combination of the features and facilities below, all included in the programme fee :

• 21 week programme: 1.5 hours class per week.
• All tutors are native French speakers to ensure authenticity in accent and pronunciation.
• All classes are streamed so students are challenged at a level they are comfortable with.
• Max 6 students per class to guarantee individual attention and increase confidence in each student.
• Weekly homework and regular assessments given.
• Individual support and advice on school CBAs to ensure that each student is 100% comfortable with his/her class presentation or project.

Additional Facilities throughout the year :

• Free access to our exclusive Quizlet App.
• Online support 24 hours a day via Facebook.
• Additional worksheets on our Online Kit.
• Regular emails sent to parents to keep them updated on everything happening in EF.
