Why did you go? 

I was excited to attend the annual French Teachers development programme. This is usually attended by a majority of French educators from across the globe. The conference covered teaching the Francophone, teaching French language through Music and how best to teach French grammar.

What was the highlight of your trip?

Discovering new techniques to make teaching and learning French more interesting and learner-centred, where children can participate more within each lesson and are not just spectating, but actually learning how to actively converse in French.

What were your favourite attractions to see in France?

The Le Louvre Museum, La Tour Eifel (Eifel Tower), L’ Arc de Triomphe and a tour of the Moulin Rouge stage.

What was your favourite food experience?

Tasting snails for the first time.
