French Classes at the Alliance

Learn French with Rond-Point

Rond-Point is a highly interactive method that requires additional oral activities in class. This method offers new concepts, new ways of learning and, of course, new opportunities for immersion in the French and Francophone world.
Students know in advance the programming of each class, as all teachers’ activities are indicated in the student textbook. One book covers all seven levels. The book and its companion CD are available for purchase in our office.
In addition, at the end of each session, students receive a final evaluation to rate their communicative skills: oral and written expression, comprehension, and use of lexical and stylistic structures. Then students receive a personal and accurate evaluation from their instructor. In this way, each student knows the progress he/she has made and exactly which course to take next.

Placement tests

If this is your first class at the Alliance Française, you should request a FREE placement test by an instructor during registration week (see page 10 for details). In addition, a teacher will assess your level during the first class of the session to ensure that you are in the proper level.

We offer a friendly and stimulating environment to help you gain confidence in using French. We place an emphasis on communication, both oral and written, which is achieved through active student participation.

All language classes are conducted in French and are designed to develop comprehension, pronunciation, intonation, vocabulary, grammar, written expression and conversational ability.
After completing three successive levels in a row, we strongly recommend that you take a brush-up class in order to consolidate your grammatical knowledge through oral expression.

At the Alliance Française de Chicago, you not only learn French, you learn how to do things in French through practical use of the language.
