Courses for FFL teachers

To further your skills and knowledge of French language and culture, enhance your teaching methods and discover innovative educational practices, CIDEF provides a number of on-site or distance-learning training courses. Such sessions can even be held at your own institution.

Several programmes are available:

• In-depth language training through attendance of CIDEF’s standard courses (throughout the year or during the summer months)**
• Tailor-made programmes for specific groups
• Teacher-training sessions held abroad by CIDEF teachers

These courses focusing on the teaching of French as a foreign language are based on the research work carried out by the LICIA team of the UCO Faculty of Humanities, the know-how and experience of CIDEF educators and the development of educational material they have published (Editions Didier).

All participants receive individual support and have access to the university library and our online educational platform.
