FRENCH SOCIETY

The Diplôme Professionnel de l'Alliance Française de Paris - FLE is awarded after completion of a 5 months training that covers Preparation of classes (grammar, phonetics, sociocultural, use of textbooks and other supports); Teaching (pedagogical techniques, strategies with individuals and groups, etc.); Evaluation (correction, tests, etc.); Acquisition and Reinforcement of Knowledge (in-depth learning, exposition to extra-material and immersion strategies, etc). After, one's ready to teach!

The curriculum covered a wide range of topics for learners of english as a foreign language: grammar, tenses, figures of speech, etc. We were also taught different pedagogical approaches so that we'd be able to teach different subjects to different students in an efficient way. The whole course took me seven months to complete, mainly because I hyper-focused on it.

I worked for about two years with the Alliance Française, both in Chandigarh and New Delhi, India, mainly with adults who wanted to learn French for professional reasons (many of them worked or wanted to get a position in call centres, where French was a rather rare skill). This was probably one of the hardest, yet most rewarding of my professional experiences. Students were beginners and learning was hard, but they were motivated. It taught me a lot: patience, creativity, care, etc.

If anything, the understanding of basic acoustic principles gave me tools to teach pronunciation. Additionally, mixing language and singing lessons has proven very efficient because learning and singing a song allow students to deeply internalize phonetics and grammar patterns.
