Testimonials

Excellent course for teachers

I am very satisfied with the FLE teacher training program at the AF in Bordeaux: the resources are up to date, and the methodology is contemporary and applicable to teaching practice. Observing and interacting with FLE teachers in real-life situations has given me a broad and practical understanding of teaching. I highly recommend it for those who want to start or deepen their practice!
