Pour qui, pourquoi?
This AIS professional development course, held 28 May 2010, will focus on 'meaning' in the teaching and learning of French. How do we get students to better use their intellectual capacity, how do we get them to marvel at the richness of the French language and culture? Teachers/academics who would like to present a one-hour session along these ideas, please contact Ghislaine: gbarbe@aisnsw.edu.au by the end of term 1. read more...
