About the Program

"Le fait d'être à l'Alliance avec d'autres professeurs de FLE a été un grand plaisir. Depuis 5 ans à NY, c'est la première fois que j'ai l'occasion d'une rencontre comme celle-ci. Merci !"
— Jose Eduardo Vasconcellos Guimaraes

Under the guidance of certified native-speaking educators, current and future French teachers improve their instruction of French to primary students, secondary students, and adults. These affordable workshops offer teachers the opportunity to learn practical strategies, share experiences, and develop specific pedagogical skills that are easily incorporated into existing lesson plans. Using state-of-the-art equipment, participants may experiment with alternative teaching methods that enhance their current programs and speak to their technology-forward students.

Each workshop concludes with an informal wine and cheese gathering, an excellent opportunity to socialize and network with colleagues.
