Other programs
Intensive French Language Course
From time to time we run short, intensive French language and culture courses. Ideal for the business or leisure traveler planning to visit France, these courses run for approximately 4-6 hours per week over a period of 4 – 6 weeks. Please register your interest if you would like to enrol in a course of this nature as it would only run if there were a sufficient number of students.
DELF / DALF Examinations
These exams are for those wishing to have an internationally recognised Diploma showing their French language ability. Alliance Française de Wagga Wagga is no longer a registered centre for these French language exams. Information about the DELF and DALF examinations can be found on the Centre international d’études pédagogiques (CIEP).
Full Immersion in French Language and Culture
There is no better way to learn the French language than a total immersion in the French country and culture. New Caledonia (Nouvelle-Calédonie) is the closest French speaking Country to Australia. Le Centre de Rencontres et d’Echanges Internationaux du Pacifique (CREIPAC) conducts classes in French for people of all ages with intensive courses, total immersion and student centred teaching. Arrangements can also be made to live with a host family.
In 2024 we hope to organise a Study Tour to Noumea. Please register your interest early in the year by contacting info@afwaggawagga.org.au
