With the addition of new creative classes this autumn, plus the launch of its new Wednesday PLUS programme announced recently on our website, Key English School now offers a wide range of courses, designed to help anglophone kids develop key English skills within a fun and interactive environment. Part of the ASC Education Group, Key English School has always had an excellent reputation for its high quality language courses and first started offering English classes back in 2007.
For those who like creative writing, there is a new class in Geneva this September for 11-14 year old anglophones, run by dynamic teachers, trained in using effective strategies and techniques to help motivate, develop and challenge young writers.
Another popular course returning this year for kids in the 11-14 age range is “Speak Up!”, where students are given the opportunity to discuss, debate, present and express themselves in everyday situations. Describing the course to knowitall.ch, Key English School Director, Sarah Pralong, told us, “Parents love this course as they get to see their kids’ confidence grow just as quickly as their knowledge in these classes!”
Last week we learned the sad news that Muriel Lauvige had passed away. Muriel was the author of an innovative book for helping both youngsters and adults overcome the challenges of learning a new language.
Called “This is NOT a normal FRENCH book”, the book was featured on our site a couple of years ago. As a show of support for Muriel, her husband and her baby daughter we would like to help her family and friends get as many people as possible to buy her book, which can be purchased at Amazon, The Book Edition and Payot.
Written and illustrated by Muriel, the 56-page paperback was based on years of research and insight into language learning and education. Muriel had over 15 years experience of teaching French and working on education projects around the world with organizations such as Alliance Française and the United Nations.
With its own unique blend of text and comic visuals, this highly colorful publication does not fall into the usual category of books for learning French - indeed each page has been carefully designed to make French as easy and fun to learn as possible. It is filled with comic characters and ready-to-use sentences, and contains just 500 of what Muriel's research led her to conclude are some of the most high frequency words in French.

A new language centre will open on Monday, 7 October 2013, offering state of the art communication facilities for those living in Vaud, between Nyon and Lausanne.
Situated on the recently opened GEMS World Academy campus in Etoy, the World Language Learning Centre will provide a stimulating and innovative range of after-school and evening classes in Mandarin, French (DELF and DALF) and English-language communication for both business use and pleasure.
The center will be open not only to students enrolled at the school, but also children (from age 7 years) in the wider community, and adults. The English-language courses will lead to internationally-recognised qualifications awarded by the world-renowned London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art (LAMDA).
Local linguist, Elisabeth Raess, has started running language classes from her home in Versoix, near Geneva.
Called “Coffee, Cake and Conversation”, the French, German or Swiss German lessons will be conducted in a relaxing atmosphere, intended to encourage discussion on a variety of themes relating to daily life. Coffee and cake will be on hand whilst Elisabeth adapts her lessons to her pupils demands, providing “à la carte” lessons for small groups or individuals.
Instruction is offered at all levels – so whether you are a beginner looking to have fun learning French with a couple of friends, or an individual wishing to brush up your grammar in a more relaxing environment, Elisabeth will structure her courses according to your requirements.
For further information, contact Elisabeth by email at elisabeth.raess@bluewin.ch.
