Course description:

French Online is an E-learning method for learning French in Pakistan. The programme has been prepared by qualified Pakistani teachers who worked in collaboration with the Embassy of France and French Cultural Center Islamabad. A special platform/website has been created. The website is specially designed for learning French through Internet. All the modules or lessons are on this platform. The website is designed in a way to help students learn the language independently and on their own. They can study whenever and wherever they want. Students receive a password and can have an access to these modules. They study the modules on their own. Students are divided into groups and each group has not more than 20 students. Each group is assigned a tutor who keeps in touch with his /her students through French Online website. His/her job is not to teach his/her students but he/she acts as a guide and a moderator and facilitates and helps students in the process of learning. In addition, the students also have a face to face class with their tutor. Again the tutor doesn’t teach his/her students but prepare different interesting activities in order to make his/her students practice the spoken skill and improve their pronunciation. A total number of 30 modules are available online and after studying 20 modules the students can appear for DELF A1 exam. After passing this exam the students will receive a certificate from French Ministry of Education.
