Our teachers are all native French speakers and have at least a university degree. They are continuously monitored and regularly participate in training courses that enable them to adapt to Council of Europe technology and recommendations for foreign language teaching.
We emphasize the communicative approach of French. Whether students are learning grammar, vocabulary or idiomatic expressions, they are encouraged to participate as much as possible when they are in class. This approach is complemented by a more "task-based" teaching method. This new approach is more authentic because it allows students to "learn in action" as if they were working in a company.
International House Nice is located in the musicians' district, 27, Rossini street, in the heart of Nice. Our school is surrounded by parks and restaurants and is only a few minutes walk from the main street, Jean Médecin Avenue, where you can shop, go to the movies and more.
Small groups, of a maximum of 10 students, allow everyone to participate actively. At the end of your stay, you will receive a certificate of success which follows the guidelines of the Common European Framework of Reference.
