Description

 


 

The Neurolinguistic approach for teaching French as a foreign language was created in Canada in 1998 by two renowned teachers and didacticians, Joan Netten and Claude Germain.

The approach is used for pre-adolescents and teenagers, refugees and secondary school students in Asia and in Europe. It has recently been tested through experimental research in France for French and English as foreign languages. The positive results will soon be published

 

You will approach NLA in an active and concrete way.

You will experience the approach by being put into a foreign language learning situation:

 

  • By looking closely at the strategies and theoretical underpinnings in the trainers' teaching demonstrations with real learners.
  • Then by experiencing the foundations of NLA in authentic teaching situations with real learners in the school.

 

You will have a thorough understanding and grasp of the approach in a quality process certified by IHWO, International House World Organisation. You will carry out 4 ta

Methodology & assessment

The input sessions are a blend of theory and practice in FLE using practical activities based on Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) methodology. Throughout the course, participants are encouraged to reflect on their own practice, consider alternative practices and try out a variety of classroom activities.
The Course involves small-group learning for foreign teachers of French (or other modern foreign languages) wishing to develop their teaching skills. Input sessions consist of small groups of professionals and are designed to give an insight into current language teaching methodology and techniques. The themed modules/sessions are made up of theoretical components, French language teaching techniques in practice and the elaboration of pedagogical activities that attendees will be able to put into practice on their return to work.
