Opportunities for Learning Through Experience Throughout the year Waseda students will have full access together with French students to all university facilities and services (sporting, leisure, entertainment and cultural activities). Waseda students can also meet and exchange with French students who are studying Japanese in Lyon3 From October to May, they will have the opportunity to maintain their level in English and obtain extra credits by following, in addition to the 220 hrs of French tuition and the 120 hrs of tutoring, an optional 50-hr course (one 2-hr session per week) in English in the Adult education department section with a teacher specialized in teaching English as a foreign language. Waseda students taking this option will be placed after a level test in small groups with young and not-so-young adults learning, brushing up, or maintaining their English. There are some 30 groups, spread over 10 levels from Beginner 1 (Introduction) to Advanced 2 (Mastery). This will enable them to see how English is taught in Adult Education in France (it is very informal, practical, and based on training to communicate even if mistakes are made). It will also provide an opportunity to meet and work with French-speaking learners. Facilitation Plan During the first semester (the Customized course organized by the Adult Education Department on the Site des Quais) the students will have classes in the immediate vicinity of the coordinator s office and the Adult Education Reception Desk which is open from 8 to 12 and from 2 to 6. Students generally make contact with the Coordinator through the tutors at first, but they also like to come in and greet the Adult Education administrative staff at breaks.
