Each 2 hour-course is divided in two parts: a phase of discovery in which students listen, read or watch a document they discuss in small groups. The second part of the course focuses on writing a production that is related to the situation of communication seen previously.
Students adopt the technique of rewriting, which means that they have a text of reference that helps them to make their own production. All the texts produced in class can be corrected and improved at home with the help of grid before they hand out their final copy the following week.
All the students are invited to complete a 'roadmap' called 'happy mistakes' ( vive mes gaffes!) on which they indicate all the corrections they've made on their copies.
Students are put in situation to produce regularly short written texts to 'tame' the writing in French.
