from the four corners of the world. This is a unique opportunity for you

to meet students from various backgrounds and share different points of

opposite the lake and surrounded by cool cafés, trendy boutiques and

the lakeside with its famous, colourful houses. In terms of location, our

school in Lyon is stiff competition. It is perfectly situated on the banks

of the "Rhône", between the "Place Bellecour" and the “Opéra” in the

heart of the old “Presqu’île”. You are invited to party in this lively, vibrant

student district.

choose! If you like, you can begin your language stay in Lyon and continue

in Montreux, on the banks of Lake Geneva, at the foot of the Alps. You

may, of course, choose to visit the cities the other way around. Please don’t

conversation and the forming of friendships. It is a chance for you to get to

know the people in your class and to practise your newly acquired language

Study French at ESL

A highly effective teaching methodIt’s impossible not to improve at ESL! Our schools offer a modern and effective teaching method

delivered by qualified teachers, with well-planned and motivating lessons adapted to all language

levels and which allow for maximum interaction between the teacher and students. Each student

also benefits from continuous assessment throughout his or her stay. ESL offers an innovative,

effective and attractive way to learn French. Without a doubt, the ease with which you will progress

will delight you !

Handpicked teachersGood teaching requires good teachers. Our carefully selected teachers have all the necessary

qualifications and experience to teach French to non French-speaking students. However, we ask

for more than just a degree from our teachers. They are chosen for their enthusiasm, their ability to

create exciting and interactive lessons and for the attention that they pay to each student. This lively

and efficient teaching guarantees long-lasting progress!

A learning level for everyoneWhatever your linguistic skills, ESL has a course to meet your needs and goals. After a thorough

assessment of your existing language knowledge, you will be put in a class suitable for your level.

Our table of levels conforms to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages

(CEFR), which is the European standard for foreign language teaching. Multiple oral and written

activities allow the teacher to continuously assess progress and offer personalised solutions to each

student.

An effective teaching methodThe major objective, which each student should set for him/herself, is to be able to communicate in

French at work, whilst travelling and in everyday life.

Offering your this ability and all the necessary know-how to achieve it is our main aim.

We are convinced that by making communication our priority we can reach this goal.

We have based our approach to language teaching on achieving concrete operational aims, and

not on exercises and automatic reflexes that are out of context. In this way, you will develop your

know-how and not just accumulate knowledge you won’t know how to use.

For this reason too, our classes have between 8 and 12 students, which allows for student-oriented

teaching and the active participation of all students during each lesson.

In addition, we use modern FLE (French as a Foreign Language) methods as well as media resources

like newspapers and Internet articles as well as TV or DVD documentaries.

8 www.esl-schools.org

Course certificate and official examsAt the end of your language study stay at ESL, you will receive a course certificate stating the level you

have reached. You can also take one of the many French exams made available through our Montreux

and Lyon schools.

In terms of exams, ESL offers a particularly impressive range:

- DELF/DALF exams, several sessions a year, a specific preparation course is organised by the school.

- TCF exam, available once a month at school, a specific preparation course is organised by the

school.

- E-TEF, electronic version of TEF, available once a week, 3 times per month, only in Montreux.

Whatever your level, aims and availability, you will find the exam that suits you!

Recognised by the French Ministry of Education and Paris’s Chamber of Commerce and Industry,

these official French certificates have an excellent reputation in French-speaking universities and

professional sectors. Passing one of these exams is a good asset for your future.

Your first morning at the language schoolIt is a great pleasure for us to welcome you at the school! It is also an excellent chance for you

to meet the ESL team members so that you can put a face to the names of the people working to

make your language stay a success.

After a welcome “café-croissant”, we will take you around the school and give you all the documents

and information you need before beginning class. This includes a course guide, a student card

(giving you discounts in some shops and establishments) and a presentation of the daily activity

programme. You will have everything you need to get your stay off to a great start!

Tailor-made teachingA crucial factor that often makes all the difference is class size. At ESL, we believe in teaching

groups of limited numbers (between 8 and 10 students on average with a guaranteed maximum

of 12), so that each student is guaranteed a personalised assessment, even in group classes.

We guarantee high-quality teaching and excellent teacher-student interaction, which means that

students are given more opportunity to practise their French. Classrooms with modular furniture

allow for flexibility and adapt to each individual teaching style.

Progress on a European level

CEFR GridAfter many years of research, the official CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference for languages) document was published in 2001 by the Council of Europe and helps determine the candidate’s language level in terms of his/her knowledge in various skills groups. 6 different language levels were defined and serve as a reference in the language learning and teaching sector. An EU Council Resolution recommended the use of this Council of Europe grid to establish systems to determine language ability. Nowadays, it is an essential reference document.

Lyon is just two hours from Paris, Marseilles and Geneva on the TGV (high speed train).

In terms of population, Lyon is the second largest city in France but it comes first in many respects.

From “Bellecour” to “Terreaux”, from “St-Jean” to “St-Paul”, from the “Parc de la Tête d’Or” to the “Pentes de la Croix Rousse”, its banks and pastel coloured old districts like little villages are as many invitations to go shopping as they are for strolls and exploration. Bear witness to Lyon’s dazzling beauty on an evening stroll through the city. Wander through the city famous for its silver and gold embroidered silks Lyon sparkles. Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1998, discover its beauty and lose yourself in its energy and its lifestyle. Welcome to Lyon!

8 Cancellation prior to commencement of the course A contract partner may cancel his contract at any time prior to commencement of the language course. In that event, ESL will be entitled to seek payment of ap-propriate compensation, the amount of which will depend on the period of time remaining between the date on which ESL receives the cancellation and the date of commencement of the language course. In accordance with this principle, the amount of compensation is calculated as follows:56 days or more prior to the first day of the language course:10% of the total invoiced priceBetween 55 and 30 days prior to the first day of the language course:20% of the total invoiced priceBetween 29 and 22 days prior to the first day of the language course:30% of the total invoiced priceBetween 21 and 15 days prior to the first day of the language course:50% of the total invoiced priceBetween 14 days and the first day of the language course:100% of the total invoiced priceFailure to participate in the course or cancellation after the given deadlines:100% of the total invoiced priceThe registration fees of CHF 110 / EUR 75 and the insurance costs will remain due. The cancellation amount must be received at the latest 10 days following receipt of the cancellation invoice. In the event that a participant is refused a visa and the original refusal document issued by the Swiss/German/French Embassy is supplied, ESL undertakes to reimburse the whole amount paid, less an administration fee of CHF 150 / EUR 100 and bank charges of CHF 60 / EUR 40.

9 Cancellation insuranceESL recommends that contract partners take out a cancellation insurance policy. In the event that the participant has taken out cancellation insurance and then cancels his course, he will be responsible for notifying his insurers. Under no circumstanc-es will a cancellation insurance policy render ESL liable for non-reimbursement of a course. ESL offers cancellation insurance, for which the charge is approximately 3% of the total invoiced amount, up to a maximum of CHF 68 / EUR 50.

10 Passports and visasThe participant will be responsible for complying with the security regulations, the regulations governing the obtaining of a visa, and the health regulations required to enter and stay in Switzerland/Germany/France. Under no circumstances will ESL be held liable for any notice of refusal to enter or stay in Switzerland/Germany/France given to a participant. Information relating to the regulations governing security, health and obtaining a visa can be obtained from the Swiss/German/French Embassy or Consulate in the participant’s home country. No reimbursement will be made, either in full or in part, in the event that a participant is refused permission to enter or stay in Switzerland/Germany/France by his own fault. ESL will provide a letter of invitation for the visa application following receipt of all the costs of the language course.

11 Accident/health insurance Every participant will be entirely responsible for obtaining accident and health cover valid for the country in which he intends to stay for the whole period of his stay. In the event that he does not have such cover at the time of registration, ESL will include an appropriate insurance policy covering these risks. For a course in Switzerland, the cost of this cover is CHF 180 per month. For a course in France/Germany, the cost of cover is EUR 39 per month for EU citizens, and EUR 79 per month for non-EU nationals. This insurance will be invoiced with the reservation package and will cover accidents and illness only.

12 Damage caused by participants / civil liability Prior to arrival at ESL, each participant must take out a policy of insurance to cover any loss/damage which he may cause during the course of his stay. In any event, and even if a participant does not feel that it is appropriate for him to take out such insurance, he will be liable for any losses caused to ESL, its commercial partners and any other third party unless the liability of ESL can be clearly demonstrated.

13 Obligations of participantsParticipants are required to attend the course and to arrive on time. They are re-sponsible for choosing a course which is appropriate for their level of capability. Failure to attend the course, or irregular attendance, or any disruption to lessons caused by an individual participant’s attitude will entitle ESL to expel the partici-pant. ESL will not reimburse or pay compensation for any part of the missed course or any additional travel costs incurred.

14 Late arrival In order to avoid disturbing the class, any participant who arrives more than 15 minutes late should wait for the break before joining the class.

15 Inconsistent attendance Any participant who does not attend all the classes which make up the language course will not be entitled to any reimbursement. He will not be entitled to receive his certificate unless he attends at least 80% of the classes.

16 ClaimsIn the event that a participant wishes to bring a claim, he must notify the head of the centre immediately. Any claim for compensation must be notified in writing to ESL Montreux, and may not arrive more than four weeks after the contractual ter-mination of the language course. After that time, any action taken by the contract partner will be deemed to be null and void.

17 DisciplineIn the event that a participant is badly behaved, undisciplined, or demonstrates a poor attitude ESL reserves the right to expel him immediately. In that event, ESL will not reimburse or pay compensation for any part of the missed course or any additional travel costs incurred.

18 Changes affecting prices, dates or servicesUntil such time as a participant receives the confirmation of registration, ESL may change the dates and prices of language courses published on the internet or any other communication tools at any time. Following confirmation of registration between ESL and the participant, ESL may change its programme of services, provided that the changes are minor, unavoidable, based on good faith and do not in any way affect the teaching services. In the event that the “key” services provided by ESL are affected by major changes, participants may withdraw or ap-ply to join a different course of the same value, if ESL is in a position to provide this. ESL must notify participants of any changes immediately and participants must notify ESL as soon as possible after receipt of such notification of their inten-tion to exercise their rights.

19 Minimum number of participantsIn the event that it is not possible to achieve the minimum number of participants required for a language course (6 persons for a group course), ESL will notify the contract partner at least three weeks prior to the commencement of the course. If ESL is unable to provide a replacement service, ESL will undertake to reimburse all fees paid to date. Under no circumstances will ESL pay compensation for any inconvenience or loss of time. In the event that none of the courses are appropriate for the participant’s level of ability, ESL reserves the right to substitute the group course for private tuition. The number of hours of private tuition will depend on the amount paid by the participant.

20 ActivitiesDepending on the weather conditions or other circumstances beyond the control of ESL and its organisation, ESL reserves the right to cancel one or more of the scheduled activities described in the brochure. In that event, ESL undertakes to substitute the cancelled activities with others.

21 Public holidaysThe contract partner declares that he is aware that schools are generally closed on local public holidays, and acknowledges that this will not give rise to any claim for compensation against ESL. 22 Cancellation of ESL coursesESL reserves the right to cancel a language course for safety reasons as a conse-quence of a strike, political unrest or for any other extraordinary reason. In that event, ESL undertakes to reimburse all costs relating to the course. ESL reserves the right to retain a certain amount to cover administration costs.

23 LiabilityESL will assume full responsibility for the language courses offered and undertakes to organise them efficiently in accordance with its knowledge and experience in the sector. Under no circumstances can ESL be held liable for any loss resulting from illness, accident or inconvenience caused by poor service provided by any agent appointed by ESL. Neither will ESL be responsible for the loss of any valuables, personal items, money, etc. unless such losses were due to deliberate negligence on the part of ESL.

24 Safety and securityESL is authorised to take all reasonable action as required to ensure the well-being and good health of the participants. ESL is also entitled to take all neces-sary measures to provide a participant with any appropriate medical care in the event of necessity. Any costs arising from such medical attention will be borne by the participant, or his legal representative if he is a minor. A written release/authorisation signed by the legal representative will be required in respect of cer-tain sporting packages where risk is involved. Without such a signed document, ESL reserves the right to refuse to allow the participant to take part in certain sporting activities.

25 Protection of personal dataWithin ESL, personal data is only recorded in the event of a request for information, offers or registration for a language course. In principle, external organisations and individuals do not have access to the ESL database. Personal data is communicated in order to reserve accommodation (host family, hostel or hotel) or in response to a legal demand. In certain cases, ESL may provide such information to competent authorities (for example, to immigration authorities). Personal data is filed and registered at ESL-Montreux. In addition to such data being used to provide advice and information on reservation procedures to the participant, they may be used to provide participants with information about new ESL products.

26 Promotional material ESL reserves the right to retain and use photographs either taken by or showing a participant for promotional purposes. The same applies to anything produced by the participant during the language course. This right will deemed to have lapsed if the participant or his legal representative specifically revoke this point in writing at the time of registration.

27 Applicable law and jurisdictionSwiss law will apply exclusively to the contractual relationship between ESL and the participant. Jurisdiction will lie with the courts of Montreux (Switzerland). The general terms and conditions of sale will not, under any circumstances, limit the laws applicable to the contract partner.

1 Registration and confirmationAll registrations received by ESL Education S.A. (“ESL”) by post, e-mail, fax or tel-ephone will be deemed to be valid. Registration will be confirmed within a maxi-mum of 10 working days following receipt of a valid registration. The contract will be deemed to be finalised as soon as ESL has confirmed the registration, and will then be legally enforceable. Where the registered person is an adult, that person will become a contract partner of ESL. Where the registered person is not an adult, his/her legal representative will become the contract partner of ESL. In that event, the legal representative must sign the contract and give his exact address. The person who is contractually registered to a language course will become a participant, designated as such below. The person who signs the contract (either the person himself or, where the person is a minor, his legal representative) will be identified as a contract partner, designated as such below.

2 Information provided at the time of registrationThe contract partner expressly declares that the information provided at the time of registration for a language course is true and accurate. Any inaccurate informa-tion or omission may lead to immediate expulsion from the course (for example, if a “complete beginner” overestimates his level of linguistic ability in order to be able to start a course on a date other than the official commencement date for “complete beginners”). In that event, the costs of the course will not be refundable, either in whole or in part.

3 Registration feesESL will charge the following registration fee for each registration: CHF 110 / EUR 75. These fees are non-refundable.In the event of late registration, from two weeks after commencement of the lan-guage course, the participant will be charged an express processing fee of CHF 50 / EUR 35.

4 Agreement modification feesIn the event that a participant wishes the type of course or accommodation condi-tions to be varied following confirmation of registration by ESL, a variation fee of CHF 80 / EUR 55 will be charged and will be payable with the request for variation. No additional charge will be made if the participant decides to extend his language course at the same centre.

5 Conditions of paymentFees will become payable immediately on receipt of confirmation of registration as follows:- a deposit of CHF 250 / EUR 170.- the registration fee of CHF 110 / EUR 75 (not included in the cost of the language course).- payment of the premium for the cancellation insurance and/or the [accident/]health insurance (where policies have been taken out).The balance of the total fees must be paid at least four weeks prior to commence-ment of the language course. In the event that ESL receives a registration less than four weeks prior to commencement of the language course, the full amount must be paid on receipt of the invoice. Neither the course nor the accommodation will be deemed to have been paid for unless the relevant amount has been received into the account details of which will be provided by ESL upon confirmation of registration.

6 Payment periodThe contract partner will be held liable in the event that the payment periods specified by ESL in the confirmation are not complied with. In such circumstances, ESL reserves the right to refuse entry to the course. No claims will be accepted by ESL.

7 Proof of paymentParticipants may be asked to provide documentary proof of payment of the full fee for their course and accommodation either before or on commencement of the language course. Failure to do so may mean that entry to both the course and the accommodation will be refused. In the case of late registrations, ESL will ask for proof before sending the pre-arrival documentation.
