Teacher of French as a Foreign Language (FLE) and French as a Mother Tongue (FLAM) for over 25 years in IB and American schools

About

With nearly thirty years of experience abroad, I have developed solid expertise in teaching French as a Foreign Language (FLE) and French as a Mother Tongue (FLAM), within IB and American schools. This extensive experience in an international context has allowed me to refine a genuine ability to adapt to multilingual and multicultural audiences, taking into account the specific needs of each learner, whether they are discovering the French language or already speak it as a home language.

Trained to teach French B and French A at the MYP and DP levels of the International Baccalaureate programme, I design my teaching in line with the requirements and pedagogy specific to the IB: developing critical thinking, an intercultural approach, and individualized support for students towards linguistic and literary autonomy, up to preparation for final examinations.

Teaching methods

My teaching approach is based on constant adaptation to each student's profile, needs, and pace, favoring a differentiated and individualized approach. I make sure to take into account the different levels of language proficiency, learning styles, and the specific objectives of each student's path. Within the IB framework, my teaching draws on a precise understanding of the programme's expectations and assessment and grading criteria, in order to guide students towards structured and autonomous progress. I also place emphasis on developing the expected skills, offering strategies and tools tailored to enable each student to understand the programme's requirements and effectively apply their knowledge and skills during assessments.
