Course Description

ERASMUS+ NLA (The NeuroLinguistic Approach)

Effective strategies for successful learning and for teaching a foreign language

The sessions include a mix of theory and practise in FLE, based on The Neurolinguistic Approach’s phases and tactics. Participants are invited to reflect on their own practice, investigate novel theoretical and pedagogical concepts and alternative approaches, and experiment with classroom tactics throughout the course.

Theoretical and pedagogical ideas are provided to the entire group, and they are then used in working groups for the various phases in order to improve teaching abilities (oral, reading and writing). Small groups of professionals participate in input sessions, which are intended to provide insight into their French language instruction, which is founded on solid and robust foundations from the NeuroLinguistic Approach and language teaching that is related to reality on the ground.

Thematic modules/sessions include theoretical components, hands-on French language teaching strategies, and the development of pedagogical activities that participants may apply when they return to work.
