The "Ensemble en France" course is intended for people with a basic knowledge of French (A2) and the teachers who accompany them. The exercises are developed to guide both learners and teachers, thanks to numerous pedagogical tips on FLE and suggestions for using sequences. A large number of external links complete the explanations and propose additional exercises that can be used as an aid to take an exam session in French. This training is also aimed at potential migrants as well as those who have already migrated to France. "Ensemble en France" can also be used as a tool to prepare for a family reunification trip, a study trip or in the context of acquiring French nationality through naturalization. The course is also intended for people accompanying these migrants: pedagogical orientations are proposed to social workers and teachers of FLE (French as a Foreign Language).
