A typical English Conversation workshop.

Welcome!


The Alliance Anglaise 05 mission is to help inhabitants of the Hautes-Alpes department communicate with the world outside France.
Local schools teach grammar and vocabulary and introduce students to anglo-saxon literature. Others teach essential English for professionals, especially important in a region dependent upon tourism.
Alliance Anglaise 05 complements these efforts. We don't teach English, we encourage students to exploit existing knowledge, permiting them to communicate in the language of globalisation. Our teachers, all anglophone, impart everyday English spiced with the culture of their country of origin.
Complementary to our conversation workshops, limited to 10-12 students for maximum efficiency, we connect students to British correspondents and incite exchange visits. We also help ex-students organise work assignments in English-speaking countries.
The French intone "Vive la difference!!". Agreed. But how much better to discover and appreciate the multitude of differences that distinguish the French from Anglophones!!
