At ALIP, the professors are specialists in their fields. In addition to teaching the language, they train professionals or future High School students in specialized language.

Today, interview with Michelle, our marketing English teacher.

• ALIP : Michelle, can you tell us what is the objective of this 20h Marketing workshop in English?
• Michelle : The general theme of my course revolves around Fundamentals and differences of Marketing & advertising. We also discuss Public Relations & communications.

• ALIP : Which competencies are primarily targeted?
• Michelle : There is a lot of them! Here is what I think is most important Students will get a basic fondation on the principle of Marketing and Advertising. They will build marketing plans, practice their speech and presentation skills. They will launch their own product and be confident in advertising, marketing and potentially selling the hypothetical product. They will work on their oral and written English skills which will help them for their future studies in Business School or in the professional world.

• ALIP : Can you tell us some of the main steps in your course?
• Michelle : Yes, of course. During the first lessons, the question we ask ourselves is: What is a target audience? I bring some ads and we discuss why the ad is appealing. We compare what the ad is selling, promoting, TA, visuals … We also work on the principles of Marketing: prices, place, promotion & product. The students understand these concepts by practicing themselves with mock trials. After that, we analyze the successes and failures of Public Relations Strategies with case studies to work on. The students share their own opinions on subjects. Through the reading of several specialized articles, students will be able to discuss the success and the brand marketing of companies. It is also an opportunity to learn how to describe graphs and figures. Students practice professional presentations with all this vocabulary. Finally, we manage to work on the creation of a product launch: students present their products and marketing strategies.

• ALIP : How does this course conclude?
• Michelle : After the final evaluation, their presentation is produced, we review how they have improved as well as any recommendations and advice for the future. The goal for me is to make sure that the students have met their goals and we discuss individually their strengths and weaknesses.

• ALIP : Thank you very much Michelle for sharing 😉

Our French course programs have been reworked for 2 months by the ALIP pedagogical team.

In order to take ever more into account the expectations and profiles of our students, we have reviewed everything! The levels of the training programs have been refined for greater efficiency and relevance. Clear and coherent modules allow a better progression of our students. More cultural content will be offered from the most beginner levels, more intensive course hours and always thematic workshops designed mainly for their needs: phonetics, culture, linguistic reinforcement, preparation for the DELF A1 level… For the elementary levels, the conversation course helps to consolidate their first learning.

This year we have also strengthened the preparatory courses for higher education for those preparing to enter a higher education institution or university. 2 separate modules for 3 levels of competence in this field! These modules aim to enrich the “university” culture and develop intercultural skills, improve written and oral techniques, reuse the general language by training on specific cases. Students also benefit from practical and methodological advice, view and analyse models and examples and participate in simulations.

Our advanced students also participate in specific thematic workshops according to their profiles: culture, business news, gastronomy, fashion, marketing, etc…
The project module always allows them to put their knowledge into practice in a group work in small groups. The achievements of these projects always surprise us!

For all, ALIP school perpetuates its 2 original activities: the inter-class challenge for an unparalleled cohesion and conviviality, and the life in Paris module which opens students to all aspects of Parisian life.

And as usual, our team will go to great lengths to celebrate the many events of the year with all the students!
We look forward to starting this new winter session.

In October 2017, ALIP launched its first e-learning platform with unique and unprecedented content. All modules have been created to meet the needs of our Alipians.

A motivated and demanding team has given birth to a first course of learning French in a communicative and cultural perspective.

Many authentic documents, activity sheets, unique and fun video resources, everything has been designed so that the Alipien extends his experience of immersion in France.

The first students have just completed their course, and we are very proud of their feedback!

Exercises deemed “fairly easy but not too”, “useful” and “in relation to their studies at ALIP and their daily life”. They say that they “appreciate the ALIP spirit and the communication with Mr ALIP”! (It must be said that he is very nice ).

The “culture minutes” are really liked.

So what next?

The following is still a lot of beautiful projects!

• Creation of the little brother of course 1! Surprise ….

• Improvement of certain activities for a better enhancement of our educational approach.

• Animation forums for more interaction: attention, lots of challenges ahead !!
