Catholic Institute of Toulouse

Classified as an association promoting the public interest, the Catholic Institute is the heir of the Medieval University, founded in 1229. ICT is an academic center made up of faculties, organizations, and schools. It is a place of teaching and research, enriched by its diversity in social backgrounds, cultures, and sensitivity to the people it receives.
Serving both country and church, the ICT proudly states the values that constitute its reputation: open-mindedness, respect, special attention to the vulnerable, commitment, and willingness to make progress together.
Whether it is Arts or Humanities, Religious and Theological Sciences, Communication, Art or Corporate Culture, the teachings are given. The research carried out is based on reflection and wisdom enlightened by the values of the Gospel.

Our team members, with Masters or Doctoral degrees, are specialists in teaching French as a foreign language.

Our teachers have a long experience in teaching the French language in France, as well as in other countries (Great Britain, Germany, China, Spain, Madagascar, Ethiopia, Rwanda, Mozambique, South Africa)
They provide personalized support to enable their students to achieve their goals.
IULCF teachers utilize more than just one method. In order to design their courses, each professor has a variety of materials at their disposal. Aside from commercially available FLE methods, the teachers employ authentic documents encountered in daily life.
Convinced that technology can enhance the learning process, we also encourage BYOD (bring your device) use in the classroom.
Specific learning objectives are set up for each level group following the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages: A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, and C2.
We also offer a tutoring system. Therefore, if you have any specific difficulties which cannot be solved in class, you can occasionally ask for tutoring help.
There are 5 to 8 groups from beginners to advanced levels. Each group is made of 8 to 16 students (max).
Our intensive course prepares to D.E.L.F. and D.A.L.F. (Diplôme Elémentaire de Langue Française, Diplôme Approfondi de Lange Française).
