Learning a foreign language isn't just a matter of
mastering grammar and vocabulary. It's also about functioning
competently in any given situation; knowing when and how to use each
element. This is why the e-loquence approach is centred around the idea
of communication. Examples include
:
- How to
convince someone.
-
How to compare two products.
- How to give the floor to someone.
e-loquence languages
helps you master the
language necessary to communicate in these types of situations.
Each week the lessons form a coherent whole. They
are based on specific objectives for the week, often including
grammatical, lexical and communicative elements which form the basis of
the week's work. All the elements are contextualised, allowing you
to see the language in action as it is naturally spoken. The lessons
are structured and allow you to follow a coherent progression.
e-loquence languages
courses give you a major advantage; when you speak to your teacher,
by phone (Allegro programme) or face to face (Vivace programme), you
already know the key points of the lesson. Furthermore, these points
will already have become familiar to you during the previous week, thus,
saving you valuable time and enabling you to spend time with your teacher
practising the language.
