Teacher training course
The course’s primary ambition is to truly
distinguish itself from the “classic” university training
courses for teaching French as a Foreign Language. The course
covers the theoretical aspects that distinguish the different approaches
to teaching French as a Foreign Language and identifies the resources
available. However, the main emphasis is put on placing you in
real situations, having provided you with the necessary tools to
prepare customised class activities in small groups. Our objective
is certainly to provide you with a wide variety of
ready-to-use activities, but it is first and foremost to give you
the skills necessary to develop this material in order to achieve
complete autonomy in creating modern communicative activities.
Thus you will find yourself in the role of student
and can pinpoint the real difficulties encountered
by your own students. Also as a teacher, seeking to adapt material
so that it suits your students’ characteristics (nationality,
level, objectives, etc.). This takes place in an atmosphere of reflection
and debate that promotes cross-cultural exchange.
Our training modules are set up like
an itinerary guided by cross-cultural interaction with the aim of
developing trainees’ awareness of the filters that define how we
perceive others. So, advertising, French songs, films, text messaging language, reality
shows, etc. make up the bulk of the materials studied, which, following
a tried and tested meta-teaching approach, enable the basic themes of fundamental
grammar, phonetics, oral expression, civilisation, linguistics applied
to the class teaching, global simulation, etc. to be covered.
