From the very beginning, students
are encouraged to take an active part in conversational
intercourse through the use of the Communicative Approach.
Their faculties for listening, reading, writing, and
speaking are naturally stimulated. Grammar is kept to a
strict minimum.
Only words of general use (i.e.
of high incidence) are used in forming sentences and
patterns. Practical demonstrations and comparisons replace
tedious grammatical explanations previously learned by heart.

Highly qualified speakers,
expressing themselves in their native tongue, teach
intonation, accent, and the proper use of the language in
situations of daily conversation as well as business and
even interpreting.
Private courses, day and evening
groups, summer courses, periods of practical on-the-job
experience: every effort is made to meet the needs of
students of all kinds and all ages.
