INTRODUCTION
IFALPES is a leading French language-training institute. It operates in co-operation with several universities and institutes both in France and abroad. It welcomes students from all over the world and of all ages. The Institute is open all year round.

The courses are specifically designed for those interested in learning or becoming more proficient in the French language. The teaching methods are based on active participation by the students (communicative methods). Students receive credits through Miami-Dade Community College or Truman State University.
