Teacher’s Toolbox: Practical Training for Teachers
Refresh your teaching practice with practical tools, creative activities and new techniques to engage learners and bring fresh ideas into your classroom.
Course Content and Strategy
This practical training course is designed for French language teachers who want to refresh their teaching practice, discover new classroom tools and create more engaging learning experiences.
Through five thematic workshops, participants will explore a variety of practical approaches and resources that can be easily adapted to their own classroom: digital tools, artificial intelligence, games and gamification, as well as authentic cultural materials.
Discover how to use digital applications and AI to support lesson planning and activity design, explore the educational potential of board games, video games and escape games, and work with authentic materials such as literature, music, cinema and media to bring contemporary French culture into your lessons.
Interactive workshops combine hands-on practice, peer exchange and practical guidance from experienced trainers. Throughout the week, participants will experiment with new tools and design activities they can take back and adapt to their own teaching context.
