Our face-to-face group courses offer a stimulating, dynamic learning environment, with plenty of role-play and interactive exercises.
Course content is adapted to business needs and learners are grouped according to their levels and expectations.
Suitable for all language levels, language training in mini-groups is recommended for professionals wishing to maintain and consolidate their language skills in a friendly environment. These courses are suited to weekly sessions over a number of weeks/months, enabling long-term progress.
The benefits of group classes:
- enables exchanges between colleagues with similar learning needs and goals
- long-term progress
- highly enriching interactivity and role-play that reflect learners' professional environment
- multimedia course material for each learner
- consolidation work between courses.
Ideally, the groups are made up of 4 to 6 people of similar level to enable real progress to be made, and to optimize learning and facilitation by the teacher. We also offer training in pairs / trios, or even one-to-one, for even greater personalization.
Group composition is subject to the client's approval and can be adapted to suit the constraints of the team to which the learner belongs. Please contact us for formulas for groups of up to 10 people.

- Dominique L., Accounting Manager : "I'm very satisfied with this English course, because it's exactly what I expected from a group course, in terms of cohesion within our group, and the level and involvement of each participant. I particularly appreciated the variety of topics on offer and the ensuing debates, where everyone could have their say. I was looking for a collective exchange on a given subject, and this was what I found. This type of extensive 1.5-hour weekly face-to-face group course suits me perfectly, because our group is homogeneous and everyone's expectations are taken into account."
- Aurélien S. : I particularly appreciated "the homogeneity of the group, which enabled us to focus on speaking, and the teacher, who was able to adapt to the group."

How our language courses are organized:
Following registration, each learner has a telephone interview to confirm their objectives, assess their language level and personalize their training. Then, depending on the format chosen, courses can be held remotely, at your company's premises, or at the BTL training center in Paris VIII.
Courses are scheduled either :
-
On a regular basis over several weeks, between 1h30 and 2h per week for face-to-face teaching or between 30min and 1h per week for distance learning, at a time that suits the learner.
- Over a short, intensive period, at a time of year when the learner is more available - e.g. 5 half-days of training in a row.
The BTL planning team works with the learner to define the course dates depending on their availability and preferred frequency.
In the event of unforeseen circumstances, the learner may postpone any scheduled session, provided they respect the cancellation deadline as stipulated at the start of the course.
These courses are open to all levels. Training is personalized: the learner's level determines the course program, not the other way round. For absolute beginners, we recommend the "general professional language" pathway. This pedagogical orientation enables you to learn and consolidate the basics of the language. The sector-specific orientation is designed for those who already have an intermediate level.
Please note that the Blended Learning option with 7Speaking is recommended for intermediate level and above. Please contact us for alternative solutions.
