Welcoming groups of students from all over the world is part of Institut de Touraine’s DNA. On Monday March 9, we were delighted to welcome a group of Mexican students who had come to France for a linguistic and cultural immersion program. Over the course of the week, they set off to discover France’s heritage, with an excursion to the famous Château de Chambord.
This experience perfectly illustrates the benefits of a group language stay: learning French while discovering a different culture, history and way of life.
Why choose a group language course?
Group language stays enable pupils and students to make progress in French in a structured setting that is particularly enriching on a human level.
Unlike a simple school trip, a language stay combines :
- French courses adapted to the group’s level
- cultural activities
- excursions
- group activities to encourage the use of French in everyday life
So learning doesn’t stop in the classroom: it continues with visits, meals, activities and exchanges with other international students.
Learn French through excursions such as a visit to the Château de Chambord
The visit to the Château de Chambord organized for our Mexican students was a real immersion in French history. This type of excursion enriches vocabulary, enhances listening comprehension and provides a lively, hands-on introduction to French culture.
Group language holidays allow you to :
- learn French in real-life situations
- discover France’s heritage
- develop autonomy
- strengthen group cohesion
- a powerful cultural experience
These shared moments are often among the best memories of a stay. It’s this complete immersion that enables rapid progress and confidence in speaking.
