What are the fundamental principles of language training?
Whether face-to-face or distance learning, one-to-one or in small groups, the success of our courses derives from the fundamental principles of language training:
- the trainer quality
- the learner is truly taken into account, with a customized training program
- independent choice of best teaching resources
- the educational follow-up and administrative all along the route
But beyond these essentials, it's our communicative and contextualized approach that enables you to reach your goals.
That's why the learner plays an active role from the outset, developing the communication skills they need to carry out their professional activities: collaborating, negotiating, solving problems, presenting...
Concrete results for improved work performance
Expected results from our language training courses
We work with each individual to define their training objectives, based on an in-depth audit of their needs. Depending on the targeted objectives, at the end of the personalized program with BTL, the learner knows :
- Express yourself with greater ease on professional subjects: in interviews, meetings, on the phone...
- Better handle phone calls, conferences, meetings, presentations...
- Better understand emails, articles and/or professional documents
- Improved professional writing
- Use a more varied and relevant professional and socio-professional lexicon
- Use more complex grammatical structures with fewer mistakes
The CEFR scale
BTL's expert assessors are qualified to position learners on the CEFR. All our programs and course materials are categorized according to their CEFR level. At the end of the course, each learner receives a final report indicating his or her new level on this scale. Find out more >
The advantage of a dedicated trainer who adapts the approach throughout the course
We favour having a single teacher dedicated to each course, in order to:
- Establish a relationship of trust between learner and teacher
- Adapt the teaching depending on the learner's progress, strengths and weaknesses
- Develop in-depth understanding of the learner so as to fine-tune the program accordingly throughout the course
- Optimise the ongoing evaluation of the consolidation work set by the teacher for each learner
- Balance the experience with regular use of audio extracts and videos to develop learners' understanding of different accents
He's just the best teacher! His teaching methods are perfect, and he makes you want to excel.

How do we teach language?
Our memory anchoring techniques enable you to integrate what you've learned in a lasting way.
Our teaching approach is based on learning how to communicate effectively as quickly as possible, thanks to the " three Ps ": Presentation, Practice and Production.
What role does digital technology play in foreign language learning?
At BTL, we believe that innovation in language learning lies in the way digital tools are used, not necessarily in the tools themselves. Digital technology becomes a powerful lever for pedagogy when resources are selected and integrated in a targeted way by a pedagogical expert, according to the specific needs of each learner.
Each training course is tailor-made, with adapted use of technology to combine the best of digital technology and human interaction. With this in mind, digital becomes a means of enriching learning by offering a diversity of interactive and dynamic supports: interactive modules, multimedia supports, exchange platforms... The aim is to reinforce learning while benefiting from the follow-up and support of pedagogical experts to maximize the impact of each session.
How can you speed up learning while keeping your budget under control?
Our Blended Learning is the ideal combination of individual or group courses and e-learning. With a unlimited access to the e-learning platform for the duration of their training, learners can accelerate their skills development as much as they wish.
Do you need an independent certificate of language level, such as TOEIC?
BTL is authorized to have your employees sit an independent, internationally recognized test or examination, eligible for the CPF. This enables you to standardize the assessment of your employees' language levels, who are evaluated using the same framework and receive a certificate attesting to their level. What's more, an independent test enables any professional to enhance their profile with a recognized certificate. BTL has been a TOEIC agent for some fifteen years, as well as a CLOE, BRIGHT and LILATE agent, among others.
