Chanter, jouer, enseigner : la francophonie en musique
Are you teaching French in primary or secondary school? Join us to celebrate teaching with rhythm, sounds and rhymes!
This year’s edition of the French Teacher’s Day focuses on learning French language and cultures through music!
Through a series of short presentations and activities, the French Teachers’ Day will be the occasion to discover music related projects and resources that can be used in the classroom to develop students’ language skills.
Don’t forget to bring your favorite poem and/or favorite song in French, and be ready to sing along!
