Since 2006, the gymnasium has been implementing an internship program in Rochechouard, France (Limousin Province). Gymnasium students are trained in France for 21 days. Project coordinator, former French teacher Pavlyuchenko I. M.. alainnoel52@aol.com
Linguistic stay in Rochechouart www.ville-rochechouart.fr The aim of the “Meteorite” program is to prepare French-speaking students for the DELF exams, which are held 3 times a year at the French Embassy in Kiev (www.ambafrance-ua.org). The preliminary tests divide the group of 12-14 students into 2 teams, according to their level of knowledge. Team 1 improves to A2 level, while Team 2 aims for B2 (which opens the doors to French-speaking faculties in Europe as well as in Ukraine).
Each day of participation in this “Météorite” program also includes visits to the sights of the Limousin region (www.saint-junien.fr, www.ville-limoges.fr).
Accommodation with a host family is a real immersion in French civilization. (www.lepointdufle.net/civilisation.htm)
The French teachers use an individual approach to enrich students' knowledge of grammar (www.etudes-litteraires.com/grammaire.php) and spoken French (www.mylanguageexchange.com).
A rich and varied program of visits helps students to better understand French history (www.histoiredefrance.net) and heritage (www.lafinancepourtous.com/-Espace-Enfants-.html), as well as the workings of the European Community's institutions.
In a very short space of time, our students have learned a great deal that will certainly help them in their exams. We wish them courage and good luck! Inessa and Alain NOEL, organizers and managers of the “Météorite” program Rochechouart, FRANCE
Notes. The project is funded by the participants.
