EXAMPLES OF ERASMUS+ TEACHER TRAINING

CLIL CONTENT & LANGUAGE INTEGRATED LEARNING for teachers who want to learn to teach a school curriculum subject in a foreign language.

The course explores the techniques and methodology underlying CLIL.Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) has become the umbrella term describing both learning another (content) subject such as physics or geography through the medium of a foreign language and learning a foreign language by studying a content-based subject.CLIL has the advantage of addressing the ‘crowded curriculum’ issue as it enables one or more curriculum areas to be taught in and through an additional language, and thereby extends the time on task for language learning. This course in addition to formal classroom learning also contains informal/ “insitu” learning in the form of cultural activities as well as international networking opportunities for teachers to mix with other teachers from all over the EU.

French Companies, Ocpa, Pôle emploi

Professional French Courses for French companies, OPCA & Pôle Emploi

We know how daunting it can be to work for a French company when you are a foreign national. The key to settling down in France is language fluency. It will help with every aspect of living and working here. Your company will benefit from having staff who can use their French with confidence.

In France, every employer is legally obliged to contribute to professional training for their employees. These contributions are generally paid to OPCOs (Approved Joint Collecting Organisations) which are then entrusted with their management. The funds are therefore intended for training employees and may be used in various ways.

If you are an employee, don’t hesitate to have a chat with your employer but don’t feel obliged to do it if you don’t want to! You can have your French lessons paid without even giving your manager the information. The only conditions are to take your lessons in your free time and to have being working in France for a year at least.

As well as this, independent workers, non-salaried managers, traders, craftsmen, heads of companies… are also subject to this obligation to contribute to vocational training and in this capacity, they may also take advantage of the cost of their training being covered.

Don’t hesitate to contact us to discuss your situation.
