Continuing professional development for French teachers - February 2017

Lifelong learning and training are key elements in the development of teaching practices and it’s essential for teachers to enhance their teaching methods and approaches.

The first 2017’s training session organised by the French Embassy for secondary school teachers will take place in Cork, Limerick, Galway, Dublin and Sligo from 20th to 24th February 2017.

This session will be animated by M. Pierre-Yves Roux, French education expert by the CIEP, and will deal with following theme :
"Principles and activities to develop and assess oral production skills".
This workshop will quickly brush up the theoretical notions about oral skills and will mainly focus on tools for the classroom.
