The teaching team at the
Centre International d’Antibes consists of around twenty teachers specialized in teaching French as a foreign language (FLE). Among them, half are permanent teachers who work year-round to ensure high-quality French courses in France. All of them hold a university qualification and the required diplomas to teach FLE.
These teachers are registered with the education authority of
Nice, which grants them official authorization to teach. Additionally, about ten of them are official examiners for the
DELF, ensuring teaching that meets the requirements of
official certifications.
The teachers at the Centre International d’Antibes are dedicated professionals who share a true passion for teaching FLE and supporting students in their
French learning journey in France.
The
French courses in France offered by the teachers at the Centre International d’Antibes are highly rated by our
students. In fact, many of them return and express their satisfaction with the school's teaching approach, eager to reunite with their former
teacher.
The team consists of teachers from diverse backgrounds and of different ages, yet they all share the same commitment: a love for the French language and a desire to pass it on through high-quality FLE teaching. The pedagogical service's quality approach is based on teamwork and sharing, ensuring the effectiveness of the French courses provided.
Within a structured pedagogical framework organized by the management, each teacher enjoys a great degree of autonomy. This freedom allows them, depending on their audience, to explore their own didactic techniques and share them with colleagues.
For new teachers joining the team, a tutoring system is in place. Each newcomer receives support and guidance before and after taking up their position to facilitate their integration into the
Centre International d’Antibes and to ensure they deliver
French courses in France under the best conditions.
"Always developing skills to optimize teaching"
could be our motto. The pedagogical service of the Centre International d’Antibes ensures that the school's philosophy is fully applied and integrated by all
teachers.
Supporting new
teachers is a priority, helping them adopt teaching methods and reflect on strategies to maximize student speaking time. The goal is to continuously improve the quality of
French courses in France, particularly by working on pronunciation, adopting new didactic approaches, and integrating ICT (Information and Communication Technologies for Education) into FLE teaching.
Thanks to this collective dynamic, the teachers at the Centre International d’Antibes are committed to providing effective and innovative French as a Foreign Language learning, in line with students' expectations.
Teachers are supported by the pedagogical management to continuously develop and enhance their skills. To achieve this, observations are conducted, followed by training sessions aimed at improving specific teaching practices.
The development of new
French courses in France and programs is carried out in collaboration with our teachers, fostering a spirit of cooperation and mutual support between the teaching team and management. This collective commitment has enabled the
Centre International d’Antibes to overcome numerous
pedagogical challenges since its founding in 1985: courses for
juniors,
school groups,
children, European relations for civil servants, training for diplomats, as well as the creation and publication of the online monthly magazine
Le Français et Vous.
Some teachers are also encouraged to become external trainers, representing the Centre International d’Antibes abroad. They have participated in training sessions in several countries, including Spain, Germany, Finland, Norway, the Republic of Georgia, Eritrea, Austria, and Italy, contributing to the international expansion of FLE teaching.
