Fais-toi plaisir, lis en français! - Des livres diversifiés pour tous les niveaux
Youth literature is a powerful tool in teaching French. Books are a window on the French-speaking world and strengthen language skills and cultural knowledge. We must therefore offer diverse and inclusive books, but which ones? Where to find books adapted to the age and level of students? How to exploit them? Let’s dive into a world of French resources to support teachers. And so that the students have fun!
With the participation of the following publishers: Courte échelle, Écosociété/Isatis, Fonfon, La Montagne secrète and La Pastèque.

Diversify and modernize the teaching of French
Teaching in a minority setting is quite a challenge!
I will discuss it with teachers of French as a second language in Maine to offer them new avenues. It will of course be a question of books, and also of workshops and tools to make learning French even more dynamic.
