Literacy Courses
Our literacy courses are designed for adults with little or no formal education. Participants are placed in different levels based on their knowledge of the Latin alphabet. Our courses are structured around two main areas: learning written and spoken French (if necessary), and language acquisition through various activities both in and out of the classroom.
For several years, we have collaborated with Lire & Écrire (Read & Write), following their pedagogical guidelines and working with a dedicated instructor for our Alpha 1 course
