What does the French restaurant experience involve?
Our team of qualified, experienced DBS checked language teachers create the ambience of France through language, food, drink, music and props in our restaurant near to Cannock (WS12 2DN.) This allows your students to experience a taste of France without leaving the country.
Students gain an insight into French culture and gain the opportunity of using the language they are learning by completing our carefully structured language activities. Our sessions are practical, enjoyable and motivating!
We cater for both primary and secondary students.
The French breakfast session lasts 90 minutes and the French three course lunch experience lasts 2.5 hours.
The price includes:
-
A French continental breakfast / three course meal which is ordered in French
-
Language activities to promote spontaneous speaking, increase confidence and (for KS4 students) develop the skills required for success at GCSE level.
-
Certificate of participation for each student
-
Staff food and drink free of charge
