Annual Immersion Courses in France for Primary and Secondary School Teachers of French 2011

Supported by The European Union COMENIUS Programme



About us

Le Français en Ecosse / LFEE Europe has been a Comenius course provider since 2002. Our team of experienced and fully qualified native teachers are committed to promoting French language and culture throughout Europe. This is our 9th year working under the Comenius programme and our expertise in delivering Training Courses for teachers is now recognised by most European National Agencies. Our courses are fun and motivating, and take place in the beautiful city of Lyon!

Participants are encouraged to speak French as much as possible in social situations and on the cultural excursions. Different levels are catered for as the class is often be broken into smaller groups. The methodology sessions focus on techniques which enable teachers to involve all pupils in learning through the medium of French. A cross-curricular approach is favoured and all activities are transferable to the teaching of other Modern Foreign Languages.
