The School
Actilangue was established in 1977 by Paul Ceccaldi, the Executive Director. 
He is responsible for all aspects of the program, and is on hand to assist and advise students. Michel Durand is both the administrative director and the Director of Studies.
The school building is located at the heart of Nice, near the Hotel Negresco. The beach and the famous Promenade des Anglais are only a two minute walk away.
The Actilangue language courses are conducted solely in French by experienced instructors. All teachers are University graduates and have post-graduate qualifications, 
as well as experience teaching French as a foreign language. Most also have other areas of expertise (literature, art, history, etc.). In addition to their academic credentials, teachers are selected for their ability to motivate students in their studies of French.
Language Teaching Methods
The latest direct teaching methods are applied in a friendly, relaxed atmosphere, gauranteeing optimum intensity and maximum individuality.
Students develop language skills that they will use both inside and outside the classroom. All students use materials developed by Actilangue, including textbooks FRANCAIS LANGUE ETRANGERE 1 and 2. Materials are periodically reviewed to ensure that students have the most suitable and up-to-date books.
A special feauture of the Actilangue program is its emphasis on conversational French. Students in the extensive courses have either one or two lessons in small conversation groups. 
Students are grouped by age and mutual interests, in addition to their knowledge of French. Students develop their oral fluency, converting passive knowledge into active and confident command through a variety of exercises. Advanced students practice their French in discussions and debates.
Each student will be accompanied by their host on their way to the first day of classes.
