ANNUAL TEACHERS WORKSHOP FOR SECONDARY AND UPPER
PRIMARY SCHOOL FRENCH TEACHERS
There has been a national consciousness of the need for every
Nigerian to master at least one international language
apart from English.
The Federal Government, recognizing the place of French
in the political and socio-economic development of the country, has since made
French the second official foreign language to be acquired by its citizens.
Since adopting this policy, the interest in French among Nigerians
of all walks of life has been impressive. Unfortunately, such interest has
often been dampened by the failure of the interested citizens to acquire the
desired level of competence in a timely and stress-free manner. Some acquire a
vocabulary and can write, but they can't speak.
Research has shown that the old approach to teaching French has
been at the root of such failure.
Conscious of this fact, the National Council
on Education in 2018 mandated the Nigeria
French Language Village to organize annual
train-the-trainer workshops for all categories of French teachers in Nigeria to
bring them up to speed with the modern and practical teaching
methodology of French as a foreign language.
Students should be able to learn French the modern way and
acquire communicative competence within the period of
their studentship in their primary and secondary schools.
At the end of the five-day annual workshop, French teachers
return to their various schools and adopt the knowledge acquired to
significantly improve their teaching, allowing their students
to become more interested in the language and master same with
ease.
Our highly qualified faculty, having received training
from specialized institutions in France on
the Modern Methodology of Teaching French as a foreign language
(FLE), have, over the years, used such methodology to change the narrative for
French teachers who attend our workshops, as evidenced in the performance of
their students in French.
