Self Learning : online course
- Do you want to take charge of your own learning?
- Are you unable to join a regular course because of a hectic schedule or specific language requirements?
- Do you want to learn on your own and yet be guided by a counselor?
As a guided self-learner at AF de Bombay, you can:
- Learn with the help of books, audio cds and cdroms in our Self-Learning Centre.
- Access to our social network Mumbaikar in French and to pur special coaching.
- Access and borrow magazines, novels, Easy French books, comics, music cds and movies (VHS, DVD) in our French Information Resource Centre.
- Access learning resources (press, language learning websites) on Internet through the computers at the library.
Your self-learning at AF de Bombay will be:
- Partially autonomous: You will take all the important decisions regarding your learning (what you want to learn, when, with what materials, at what pace and how you will be evaluated) and learn on your own.
- Partially guided: Your self-learning will begin with an orientation discussion with a counselor, during which you can discuss your learning objectives and possible ways to achieve them. You will also meet a counselor once after every 9 self-learning hours for a follow-up session. This will be an opportunity for you and your counselor to review your progress, discuss any questions or difficulties and decide on further action.
