8 French General Courses for adults in Cannes

I liked the fact that the school was within walking distance. We were greeted very nicely by the teacher Alan.

I left the course and stay at the Collège International de Cannes early because it did not meet my expectations in any way. The impression that results from previous comments no longer finds any correspondence in reality. It could be a beautiful place and an inspiring school - but those days are definitely over. We were told that there was a change in ownership and management. As a result, there is a lack of communication, organization, leadership and responsibility at all levels. There was no greeting for arriving course participants, no information about the college and organizational processes, no leisure activities. There was a lack of free access to materials and learning aids (library, computer). Classes seemed disorganized and random. The participants were not divided according to their language level, there were underwhelmed and overwhelmed fellow students in the courses I attended. Although I arrived at B1, I was assigned a B2 class. Participants from A0 to B2 came together in the "conversation course" - it remained a mystery how successful learning could be achieved under these conditions. The teacher spent a lot of class time complaining about the difficult situation at the college or discussing organizational problems that arose. Targeted work was neglected as a result. Her teaching methods seemed outdated and not very motivating: Frontal teaching, written individual work, question and answer sessions in which everyone was allowed to say something, grammar, dictation. I missed the use of videos or audio samples, playful elements and actual conversation. Having booked an intensive course at this school proved to be an expensive mistake. Of the 21 hours booked per week, only 16 were held (note: public holidays). The value for money is not correct at all. It's exorbitantly overpriced for what's on offer. There were relatively few participants in the language courses, the majority of whom were teenagers and young adults. There were hardly any older course participants and therefore the contact possibilities for me were rather limited.
