GROUP LANGUAGE COURSES
Dutch, French, English
Group language courses are a great way to learn how to master an oral language, even if you are quite a beginner. Call International has developed an exclusive 3-step method called "3 Steps Up" that imitates natural language learning as it is performed by children. It is a mixture of intuitive learning, analysis (grammar, spelling, structure, etc) and spontaneous use in a context. This will help you to develop your target language mastery quickly and efficiently .
Group language courses are organized in one of our language centers.
Group Language Courses for Whom ?
Adults 18+
Group Language Courses at which levels ?
From A0 to B2.
A0 - Real Beginner: You have never learnt anything in the target language, even if you know a dozen words.
A1 - False Beginner: You know between 50 and 100 words in the target language. You use stereotyped sentences like: "What time is it?".
A2 - Lower Intermediate: You can have a short conversation with simple sentences over well-known subjects, often in the present. Orally, you understand simple sentences in relation with well-known subjects.
B1 - Intermediate: You can have a conversation with complex sentences (subclauses) in the present, the past and the future. You understand complete texts relating to well-known subjects (good passive knowledge). You write elaborate texts. Grammar is still approximate. You lack vocabulary in some daily topics.
B2 - Advanced Intermediate : At this professional level you can present your company, handle diffcult questions, deal with simple negotiation. You have good oral and written proficiency. Grammar is globally mastered but not all the rules are used spontaneously. You have difficulty using idioms. You still lack precise vocabulary.
C1 - Advanced : You have a good command of the language. Generally the grammar is actively mastered. You are able to negotiate and manage difficult situations. You still lack very precise vocabulary and idioms. The target language does not sound completely like a native one yet.
C2 - Very Advanced : You have a very good command of the language, close to bilingualism. Very precise vocabulary and adequate idioms are sometimes missing to communicate freely and use a metaphorical language.
