French for Specific Purposes

French with Specific Objectives (FOS) is a tailor-made learning program designed for professionals and learners who need to master French in a particular field or context such as business and finance, tourism and hospitality, diplomacy and international relations, healthcare and medical communication, legal and administrative settings, or scientific and technical industries. Whether your goals involve business communication, professional mobility, academic success, or specialized sectors such as tourism, law, or healthcare, each course is adapted to your real-life needs.

Through authentic materials, role-playing, and targeted language tasks, you will develop the linguistic and cultural skills required to perform confidently and effectively in your area of expertise—negotiating contracts, welcoming clients, understanding administrative documents, writing reports, preparing academic presentations, or participating in professional meetings.

For example, one learner preparing to relocate to France needed help with almost everything: finding an apartment, setting up a bank account, dealing with visa and prefecture appointments, registering for healthcare, and feeling at ease in everyday conversations with neighbors and colleagues. Together, we built a personalized path that combined practical vocabulary (housing, administration, work), real documents (rental ads, emails, forms), and role-plays (phone calls, appointments, small talk), so that by the time she arrived in France, she could manage both daily life and her new professional environment with much more confidence.
