The intensive month session is offered at beginning, intermediate, advanced and superior French language levels. The intensive French language session consists of 30 hours of class per week for the September session, and 21 hours of class per week for the January and February sessions. These sessions concentrate on grammatical structures and communication skills. The intensive month may be completed as an individual program, or it serves well as a precursor to the Year or Semester programs in order to further strengthen students' language skills. Participants are in the classroom with Americans and other international students.
