The teaching of foreign languages in year 3e takes the form of tutorials in front of the works. The aim is to encourage immersive learning of modern languages within the disciplinary field of the curriculum. Following the example of the courses given by language assistants in the European system, the pedagogy encourages strong interaction and participation thanks to a native teacher and direct exchanges favored by small groups. Playing on spontaneity and curiosity, training aims at uninhibited oral practice, learning specialized vocabulary (in the field of art history, museography and techniques), while deepening knowledge of a specific area of the discipline.
Courses can be taught in English, German, Spanish and Italian. Arabic can be taken by students enrolled in the 2nd year introductory course (classroom teaching).
