Suitable for all levels, foreign language training in pairs or trios is recommended for professionals wishing to maintain and consolidate their language skills in a friendly environment.
Training in pairs or trios conducted face-to-face offers the benefits of private classes combined with those of group courses. Learners are grouped by level, and exchanges between two or three people make it possible to role-play authentic professional situations. The format encourages active and constant participation of all learners, with plenty of interaction and personalized content.
Each learner receives a multimedia coursebook offering a variety of e-learning activities for consolidation work. These courses work well when scheduled as regular weekly classes over a number of months, enabling long-term progress.

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.
Our 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 fundamentals of the language. The sector-specific language pathway 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.
