Language teaching courses for teachers
From CLIL to French for teachers and FLE methodology, Erasmus+ language courses in Bordeaux to teach languages better, and to improve your own.
Plan your Erasmus+ mobilityLanguage sits at the heart of every classroom. Whether you teach a language, teach your subject through a language, or simply want to work more confidently in French, our language teaching category brings together Erasmus+ courses that strengthen both your methodology and your own linguistic skills.
Designed for teachers taking part in an Erasmus+ mobility, these courses in Bordeaux are practical and immersive. You use the language for real, in the city and with European colleagues, and you leave with strategies and confidence you can apply straight away.
Why language teaching matters
Languages open doors, to other cultures, to mobility, and to a truly European classroom. Yet teaching a language well, or teaching through one, calls for specific skills: making input comprehensible, encouraging real communication, and assessing progress fairly. Our courses are built around the action-oriented approach and the shared reference levels of the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR), so your teaching aligns with recognised European standards.
For teachers improving their own French, progress comes from using the language in meaningful situations rather than from grammar drills alone, which is why our French courses for teachers (from A2 to C1) are anchored in the culture and daily life of Bordeaux.
Who are these courses for?
Our language teaching courses for teachers welcome educators of all subjects and levels: primary and secondary teachers, FLE teachers, CLIL teachers delivering subjects through a foreign language, Erasmus+ coordinators preparing a staff mobility, and any teacher who wants to improve their own French.
For French, we run distinct courses at each level of the CEFR scale: a French A2 course to build everyday confidence, a French B1 course to consolidate autonomy, a French B2 course for fluent professional interaction, and a French C1 course for advanced precision and nuance. Each level has its own page, programme and objectives, so you join a group that matches your needs.

How our courses work
Every course in this category follows the same clear, practical rhythm: each morning introduces a principle or method, and each afternoon puts it straight to work on real lesson ideas you design and test with fellow teachers. You experience the methods as a learner before adapting them as a teacher, and you leave with concrete materials rather than notes.
Courses run over one week in small groups, in English, with trainers who are practising educators, alongside a cultural and social programme. You receive a Europass Mobility certificate and a certificate of attendance for recognition by your National Agency.
Language teaching strategies you will take back
These courses are deliberately concrete. Among the ready-to-use strategies you will practise and take home are:
- Communicative activities such as information-gap tasks and role plays that maximise speaking time.
- CLIL scaffolds including language frames, key-vocabulary supports and dual-focus lesson plans.
- CEFR-aligned assessment with can-do descriptors to place, track and motivate learners from A2 to C1.
- Literature-based sequences that turn short texts, poems and extracts into rich FLE lessons.
- Feedback and error-correction techniques that build accuracy without breaking fluency.
- Task-based lesson templates you can adapt to any level and topic.
Each strategy is tested on real lesson examples during the week, so you leave with a personal toolkit you can use immediately and share with colleagues.
Erasmus+ funding
Teachers, trainers, headteachers, school leaders and any staff of an education organisation can receive an Erasmus+ KA1 grant so your institution may cover travel, accommodation, meals, cultural activities and the fees of these language teaching courses for teachers through the grant.
