The French Support classes (FLAM) are designed for native French-speaking children attending local or international schools. These classes aim to facilitate specific language learning and maintain a connection with French culture.
To optimise progress, classes are organised in small groups according to age and level, one to five times a week, either after school on weekdays and/or on Saturdays.
The FLAM programme, initiated by the Agency for French Education Abroad (AEFE) in 2001, aims to provide native French-speaking or bilingual children to benefit from specific French language teaching and exposure to French culture. Our FLAM programme is the only one recognised by the AEFE in Hong Kong.
Our FLAM classes are in line with the "Mastery of Language" domain of the French National Education curriculum.
Depending on the age groups, we cover the following skills:
- Oral language proficiency (listening comprehension, oral expression, vocabulary building, proper syntax)
- Written language proficiency (reading comprehension, writing abilities)
- Reading (phonology, reading aloud)
- Spelling, grammar, and conjugation
The discovery and exploration of French culture through nursery rhymes, songs, stories, poems, and activities related to traditional French festivals also forms an integral part of our programme.
- Children grouped by age and level
- Small class size (4-8 children per class allowing greater interaction)
- 1.5-hour or 3-hour classes, on weekdays and/or Saturdays
- 1 to 5 sessions per week
- Home-based lessons are also available
