Marina, teacher at the Alliance française

"Learning, communicating and sharing are the key words of this training, and I am very pleased with the mix of theory and practice, and confirmed my decision to become an FLE teacher. The group work, supervised and supported by our trainers, is an added value. It's five intensive months, but the result is visible. Now I'm teaching students and it's exciting!"

Pascaline, holder of the DAEFLE

"With an on-the-field focus, the DAEFLE allows you to acquire classroom management techniques and develop your own teaching materials. You learn how to work in groups, the courses are well put together and the tutors provide excellent assistance. This diploma, linked to my Master 1 qualification, allowed me to teach abroad and gave me a good foundation for dealing with educational engineering and for incorporating the Alliance Française abroad."
