Faculty: Dr. Anne Lair (University of Utah) and Mme Michèle Harward (Canyons School District)

Venez passer quatre jours en français avec nous! 

Nous reverrons les standards culturels ACTFL-NCSSFL pour que vous les appliquiez à vos leçons. On verra comment utiliser l’Intelligence Artificielle pour rédiger des leçons et des textes. Et puis on mettra un peu de grammaire, d’écriture et de culture dans notre répertoire. Pourquoi pas les Jeux Olympiques de Paris 2024. Comme d’habitude nous répondrons à vos questions. N’oubliez pas d’apporter vos manuels et les leçons que vous aimeriez retoucher. 

Lunch card and daily parking included with workshop.

Two Graduate Credits (credit/no credit basis) OR MIDAS credit will be available.
