New in 2010

New Teacher

We’re delighted to welcome a new teacher, Monique Meager.  Monique is a very experienced Open University tutor who also runs popular residential courses at Missenden Abbey, Knuston Hall and Denman College (see the 'Teachers' page for more details).  She has agreed to join Penny Sewell and Jane McAdoo for certain weeks this year.

Club de Lecture

Many of you have enjoyed the snippets of French literature we’ve studied in class and have expressed a desire to read more.  For those of you who are interested, we’ll be organising a club de lecture this year. 

You will have the opportunity to read the chosen book before the course starts (or during the week if you need help) and then discuss it with your fellow-students and teachers.  Possible books are Maupassant’s Quinze contes, Philippe Grimbert’s  Un Secret, Alain Fournier’s Le Grand Meaulnes -  but let us have your requests and suggestions !

Accommodation

We have a new option for students who might not want to stay with a family (although we do recommend that they do!). See the Accommodation page for more information.

 

Nick and Jane McAdoo welcome you

Our Immersion France 6-day residential courses, commencing on Saturdays, offer intensive immersion in the French language.

Students are accommodated with families well known to us, in the village.

We usually have around 12 students each week, split into two groups according to ability for most of the teaching.

Our tutors come from the Open University, Birkbeck College, or are native French speakers.

We can offer exam preparation with particular help for students facing oral exams.

Specialist group weeks can be arranged.

The price includes all accommodation, meals, teaching, materials, but not travel.
