Linguistic immersion

The immersion Royal Leaders version
 » Linguistic immersion with Royal Leaders Center

Innovation concept

Recent studies showed how much an environment is important, since we look for concentration, for a new mode of reflection.  Concentraton often tends to lean towards an immediate object, space or shape, or to an adjacent person, to feel reassured and  in touch. 

The view, the acoustics and the smells all constitute essential elements which will accord a reflection, an explanation, a new vision. It has been observed that memory is more successful when associated with mental faculties, feelings connected to different environments and atmospheres

Through linguistic exchanges and through meetings, a linguistic immersion consists of placing one or several persons in an environment completely and ideally tuned to a different culture

Unique in Europe, our concept of the linguistic immersion was developed

To answer 4 major educational expectations.

• Placed in a real situation
• Avoid speaking in another language except that being studied
• Proximity of classrooms and accommodation [hosting]
• Avoid contacts or outside influences

Difference between an immersion and an extensive training :

“Immersion” includes the whole day’s training, the breaks, lunch with the teacher and 

during the evening, communicating with native speakers [family, association]

An “intensive” training includes the tuition, the breaks and lunch with the teacher.

Our Immersion sites are on golf courses

We are specialized in services provided by golf resorts. Even if one is not a golfer, the nvironment of the golf resort, well-known as a peaceful setting, the colours which 

surround it and the smells which pervade it all provide the mainspring of motivation and concentration.

Host families

Royal Leaders Center has established a network of native-speaking families around its immersion centres in Pont Royal in Provence; Evian-les-Bains; Villennes on the Seine. 

After daily tuition one or several trainees find themselves hosted during several evenings within a cultural environment hosted by very pleasant and friendly families of native speakers.

Normally speaking, days comprise 5 stages :

• Having breakfast with a native family
• Intensive tuition in the morning with a teacher
• Having lunch with the teacher
• Tuition in the afternoon with the teacher
• Possibility of cultural or sports activities
• Meeting and cultural/linguistic sharing with families
• Night

• Work, Live and Play):

Work: an extensive training given mainly by native speakers, fully qualified {diploma} 

and with work experience, according to the method “Accelerative Learning” which aims 

to promote a harmonious and very pleasant framework for motivation to the accompaniment of an extensive training.

Living : meeting with and general exchange with native families {evening meal and breakfast}.

Play : possibilities to relax and rest with sports activities, or cultural activities according 

to the region. All our centres are near golf resorts, riding schools, tennis and swimming

Pools for relaxation at the end of the day. 

Being aware of the extensive educational pressures and the added difficulty for adults to approach families who have not had previous friendly or personal relations, host families ensure a pleasant welcome according to their culture.
