Experiences
French as a Foreign Language teacher / Shandong University
SEPTEMBER 2019 - ONGOING, JINAN (CHINA)
Classes from A1 to B2. Some were about certain topics, media, French speaking countries, and how to teach and learn, others were on every language skill. I designed programs, classes, and exams, following textbooks for some of them and working with another teacher. Classes were online for one semester, when I worked to adapt what I taught and how I taught it. I used several tools for students to work alone and in groups, and file hosting services, to ensure students would stay active in class.
I took part in weekly office hours to help students: discussions, preparing exams and competitions, reviewing. Took part in several projects and events with the French department, for instance competitions, or other roles representing the University.
