Outstanding native French-speaking teachers lead flexible, fun, and fully immersive classes for children on Zoom. These virtual meetings aren’t just text-based courses spruced up with a few images or voice recordings to help sound things out – they are comprehensive, immersive French classes, workshops, and private lessons that emulate the quality and environment of our in-person courses directly, including interactive elements that keep kids engaged.
With a curriculum based on the common European framework for languages, L’Alliance’s instructors take an interactive, immersive teaching approach and conduct all classroom conversations en français with a focus on speaking from the first day. Our classes present students with real-life examples through fun, developmentally appropriate activities focused heavily on children’s likes and interests.
