With the <strong>intensive CLCF summer program<\/strong>, <strong>June, July and August<\/strong> are the perfect time to make progress, discover Lyon and enjoy an international experience <strong>at the heart of UCLy<\/strong>.<\/p><p>Designed for international students from a wide range of backgrounds, the Summer School offers the opportunity to improve their French over a short period while becoming immersed in a French-speaking university and cultural environment. It can support many different plans: extending a stay in France after a semester or a full academic year, preparing to begin university, discovering the language before a longer stay, or simply making the most of the summer to progress in a structured and engaging setting.<\/p><p>The first group of students opened the summer season in June. Over several weeks, they combined French classes with cultural activities, guided visits, excursions and opportunities to meet and connect with others. Their session may now be over, but the program continues with new groups joining in July and August.<\/p><div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ilcf.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2026\/07\/ilcf-lyon-croisiere-juin-2026-2-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-27990 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ilcf.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2026\/07\/ilcf-lyon-croisiere-juin-2026-2-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/www.ilcf.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2026\/07\/ilcf-lyon-croisiere-juin-2026-2-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.ilcf.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2026\/07\/ilcf-lyon-croisiere-juin-2026-2-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.ilcf.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2026\/07\/ilcf-lyon-croisiere-juin-2026-2-187x140.jpg 187w, https:\/\/www.ilcf.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2026\/07\/ilcf-lyon-croisiere-juin-2026-2-520x390.jpg 520w, https:\/\/www.ilcf.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2026\/07\/ilcf-lyon-croisiere-juin-2026-2-494x371.jpg 494w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\"><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">An intensive program, a complete experience<\/h2>\n\n<p>The ILCF Summer School gives students the opportunity to develop their French through an intensive format designed for the summer months. Classes focus on comprehension, communication, vocabulary, grammar and the cultural knowledge students need to become more confident and independent in French.<\/p>\n\n<p>What also makes the Summer School special is its pace and variety. At ILCF, the experience does not end when students leave the classroom. It continues through everyday conversations, time spent exploring the city, shared meals, guided visits and activities organised by the team.<\/p>\n\n<p>This connection between classes and activities gives the program its distinctive character. Students learn new words, expressions and ways of communicating, then put them into practice around the city, in museums, over a meal, during an excursion or simply while spending time with the rest of the group.<\/p><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wp-block-button js-fade-scroll\">\n\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ilcf.net\/en\/trainings\/clcf-intensive-summer-program-june-july-and-august\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Find out more about our Summer School\" class=\"button primary\">Find out more about our Summer School<\/a>\n\n  <\/div><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">June: the first chapters of the ILCF Summer Diaries<\/h2><p>The first group of students set the tone for the 2026 Summer School: a busy month shaped by classes, new discoveries and experiences shared with the group.

Students use the language to understand, communicate, connect with others and learn more about a place, its history and its traditions. For those staying for only a few weeks, these moments are especially valuable: they help students settle in, encourage conversation and allow them to quickly find their bearings in the city.<\/p><p>This approach also offers many different ways to discover Lyon and the surrounding region, through their heritage, food, history, natural landscapes, everyday life and intercultural encounters.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The summer continues, one chapter at a time<\/h2><div class=\"wp-block-text-image\">\n  <div class=\"row align-bottom collapse\">\n    <div class=\"column small-12 medium-6 xlarge-5 xxlarge-expand wp-block-text-image-info js-fade-scroll\">\n      <p class=\"wp-block-text-image-title\"><\/p>\n      <div class=\"wp-block-text-image-intro\"><p>Following the first session in June, the Summer School continues with two new groups.
