The quality of teaching within the IH (International House) network is based on the professionalism of its instructors: individuals with a solid academic background (at least a Bachelor’s degree) and significant experience in teaching the target language. At IH Nancy, preference is given to native speakers of the language taught in order to ensure authentic communication, with natural pronunciation, prosody, and intonation, and to integrate intercultural understanding naturally into the training process. Our pedagogical approach: Learners are viewed as social and professional actors, expected to carry out tasks driven by purposeful, goal-oriented action — linking thought and practice. Language learning is not limited to mastering grammar, spelling, or syntax. Through authentic professional and everyday communication situations, learners are exposed to genuine linguistic structures, which they learn to understand and reuse in both their professional and social lives. Linguistic knowledge (vocabulary, spelling, grammar, prosody, etc.) is taught inductively: moving from meaning to form.
- Ongoing formative assessments during the course (oral interactions, written exercises, comprehension tasks). End-of-week evaluations, including a grammar and vocabulary test, oral production, and written tasks. Final assessment at the end of the second week, covering comprehension, expression, and cultural knowledge.
- Authentic materials: articles from the press, video reports, TV5 Monde resources, and real-life administrative or cultural documents. Textbooks: Les Experts, Alter Ego, Cosmopolite, Taxi!, Point FLE, and other CEFR-aligned FLE manuals. Digital tools: interactive whiteboards, online exercises, multimedia platforms, and educational websites. Tailored handouts and worksheets, designed by IH Nancy’s teaching team to match the learners’ level and objectives.
