The Paris School Tour with Rondo Travel provides an excellent opportunity for students to immerse themselves in the French language, enhancing their linguistic skills and cultural understanding. Here’s how we deliver the Languages curriculum during the trip:

Language Immersion:
Students are encouraged to use French in real-life situations, such as ordering food, asking for directions, and shopping. This practical application helps reinforce classroom learning and builds confidence in speaking.
Visits to local markets, cafes, and interactions with locals offer authentic language practice, challenging students to understand and communicate in French.

Cultural Workshops and Classes:
We arrange workshops or classes focusing on French language and culture, led by native speakers. These could include sessions on colloquial expressions, French etiquette, or history, providing students with a deeper cultural context.
Language games and activities designed to make learning fun and engaging are included, catering to different proficiency levels within the group.

Guided Tours in French:
To immerse students further, guided tours of landmarks like the Louvre, Eiffel Tower, and Musée d'Orsay can be conducted in French. This exposes students to the language used in historical and cultural contexts.
Students are prepared with vocabulary lists and phrases related to the sites they will visit, helping them follow the tours and engage with the content more fully.

Educational Visits:
Visits to places of linguistic interest, such as the French Academy or local schools, can be arranged to provide insights into the French language's role in education and society.
Opportunities to meet and interact with French students can be organized, fostering language exchange and cultural exchange experiences.

Language Challenges:
Students are given language challenges or scavenger hunts that require them to use French to find information, navigate the city, or complete tasks. This promotes problem-solving and language skills in a fun and interactive way.
Reflection sessions at the end of each day allow students to share their experiences, discuss challenges they faced, and how they overcame them using their language skills.

Pre- and Post-Trip Support:
Before the trip, we provide resources and materials to help teachers prepare students for the linguistic and cultural immersion. This might include key phrases, cultural etiquette, and a brief history of places to be visited.
After the trip, we encourage students to present their experiences, focusing on language learning and cultural insights, to reinforce their learning and share it with peers.
Rondo Travel's approach to delivering the Languages curriculum is focused on immersive and interactive experiences that not only enhance students' language skills but also deepen their appreciation for French culture. Through a combination of educational visits, practical language use, and cultural immersion, students return with improved linguistic abilities and a richer understanding of the world.
