The Classical Section is a unique English teaching program designed to prepare students for the international environment in which they live.
The program has been created using the reference framework of the French Ministry of Education and the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR).<\/p>\n

The classic section offers 2.5 hours more English per week than schools in France, and is organized around themes and projects.
This allows students to explore English and develop their language skills through activities that are both engaging and draw on their personal experiences.
Classics subjects are cross-curricular, covering a wide range of areas from physical education and sport to science, music and computing.<\/p>\n

The classical section encourages the exploration of everyday English through discovery and play.
Classes in the classical section are taught by qualified teachers.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Students must demonstrate mastery and autonomy in the use of the four language skills:
– talk
– listen

What are the learning hours in the classical section?
<\/strong>Students have 4 hours of English lessons per week:
<\/span>– <\/span>2 hours of English language
<\/span>–<\/span> <\/span>2 hours of CLIL
<\/span>
How are students assigned to the classical section?<\/strong>
Language pathways at LFIB are determined by the students’ level of proficiency in French.
The classical section is designed for students who need more intensive French language training. With two extra hours of French lessons compared to International Section students, students in the classic section can progress in their knowledge of our main language while acquiring good English skills.
Students are assessed in French three times during the school year. Their main French teacher then determines the most suitable language path for each student.
Language courses at LFIB are designed to enable students to move seamlessly from the Section Classique to the Section Internationale. The two English courses work in harmony, following similar themes and vocabulary.<\/p>\n

What is CLIL?<\/b>
Content Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) is the teaching of the core subjects of the French curriculum in English. At LFIB, our CLIL program is divided into two different types of teaching, the CLIL course and the Doublette course.
The CLIL course is taught in English by a single teacher.
The Doublette course is a bilingual approach to the subjects. It is taught jointly by an English teacher and a French teacher. The additional skills developed in this session focus on researching and solving questions in both languages.
Students from the Classical Section and the International Section explore these courses together.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

French assessments take place in September, December and April. If the student has sufficient skills in French, he or she can then be assessed in English.
