Ateliers d’Expression Créative (B1-C1) (in-person in Boulder, CO) (Fall 2025)
Speak, create, and connect—entirely in French.
This dynamic course invites intermediate to advanced learners to deepen their French through creativity, self-expression, and meaningful communication. Each week explores a different artistic or expressive theme—ranging from storytelling and poetry to visual art, drama, and personal narrative—while reinforcing core language skills such as vocabulary, grammar in context, and pronunciation. In a supportive, low-pressure environment, students will participate in fun, hands-on projects, guided discussions, and short creative presentations, all designed to spark imagination and strengthen fluency. From crafting a collage inspired by a favorite artist to performing an original scene or sharing a poetic reflection, learners will discover new ways to make the French language their own.
Whether you’re a writer, visual thinker, or simply someone looking for a more playful and personal way to engage with French, Ateliers d’Expression Créative offers a unique and enriching path to linguistic confidence.
