The main reason for attending a study abroad foreign language programme is of course to improve foreign language skills ahead of the Leaving Certificate. Student Anna recently returned from Rouen, France where she spent two weeks on the Leaving Cert Prep Course. Here’s the wonderful feedback we received from Anna’s Mother about the improvement in her French and her experience on the course :
“Anna had a wonderful time in Rouen. Her host family were perfect and she really enjoyed her stay with them. The college staff were very helpful and made is very easy for her to settle in. Her level of French has improved a lot and she is still in touch with some of the people she met on the trip. She found the Leaving Cert French classes in the afternoon particularly beneficial”
