Université Lumière Lyon 2 CIEF French Language and Culture Summer School

Spend four weeks discovering Lyon and the beauty of the region all while improving your French. Open to students of all levels of French language proficiency, the CIEF Summer School provides language courses in the mornings to help students develop written and oral skills for comprehension and linguistic expression. Then in the afternoons, students engage in collaborative project-based learning. The CIEF Leisure team organizes immersive cultural experiences and outings throughout the program such as sampling local gastronomy and a field trip to Annecy.
