Study Abroad in Nice, France - Academic Program

Abroadco offers Summer sessions in Nice. After arriving in Nice, students take a placement exam to determine their language level. Students are assigned to either the Beginner, Elementary, Intermediate, Advanced, or Superior level.

Students take a French language course in the morning, Monday - Friday, from 9:00 - 12:00 with a 30 minute break. The courses are broken into three categories: Oral and Written Comprehension, Grammar and Vocabulary, and Oral and Written Production. Students in the beginner levels will focus on the comprehension of simple statements, mastering phrases on both the oral and written levels. Students in the advanced levels will focus more closely on oral comprehension and expression. The French language course meets for a total of 46 contact hours, which generally translates to 3 credits in the US semester system.

Each student also enrolls in 2 electives, which meet in the afternoons on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday from 2:00 - 4:00. The list of available subjects is made available to the student at the beginning of their session. Sample courses in the past include French Cinema, Written Production, Oral Expression, and Media Studies. Each elective meets for a total of 12 contact hours, which generally translates to 1 credit each in the US semester system.
