Pedagogical methodology and B1 objectives

Our Erasmus+ French language course follows a task-based learning approach. This means that every morning session in the classroom is designed to prepare you for a real-world task in the afternoon. We believe that to learn French in Bordeaux Erasmus+ style, you must step outside the traditional school environment. At the B1 level, learners often feel comfortable with reading but struggle with the fast pace of native speakers. Our trainers focus on active listening and phonetic correction to ensure you can follow professional meetings and social gatherings.

Throughout the week, we incorporate digital tools and modern teaching techniques to make the learning process engaging. This French B1 course for teachers is not just about the language; it is about shared European values and pedagogical exchange. You will work in pairs with colleagues from other countries, using French as the primary tool for collaboration on educational topics. This immersive experience is what sets our French B1 course for teachers Erasmus+ apart from standard language schools.
