Lunchtime online French classes give distributed teams a shorter virtual format for building speaking confidence and workplace vocabulary during the workday.
Our process turns company-specific language challenges into practical instruction, customized materials, progress reporting, and ongoing support from a dedicated training team.
Qualified Instruction
Corporate language classes are led by experienced instructors with advanced target-language expertise and a practical workplace focus.
All WPL instructors have at least an MA in the target language.
The instructor meets with the company contact before launch.
Site visits or virtual discovery help connect class content to real workplace language needs.
Needs Assessment & Placement
Each program starts with discovery so training reflects the company, the learners, and the communication problems that need to improve.
Participant needs assessments identify individual and company language priorities.
Online proficiency assessments can support placement and pre/post progress measurement.
Learner levels, roles, schedules, and business goals shape the rollout plan.
Customized Curriculum
Lessons are built around the client's industry, company, job functions, and practical communication moments.
Programs are customized for 8- or 10-week online or in-person delivery.
Materials draw from needs assessments, site visit notes, job descriptions, and company documentation.
Lesson plans include learning objectives, teacher instructions, and interactive speaking assignments.
Coordination & ROI Tracking
Clients get ongoing support, visibility, and progress documentation throughout the course.
A dedicated Language Training Coordinator supports the client, instructor, and course updates.
Attendance is tracked, with mid-term and final participant progress reports.
Online classes are recorded, and optional 1:1 coaching or tutoring can be added.
