Alliance Française de Melbourne, in partnership with the French Embassy and Department of Education and Early Childhood Development (DEECD) is offering the opportunity for teachers of French to participate in a school holiday refresher course on the 22 and 23 January 2014.

Over the two days teachers of French will participate in professional development with a focus on interculturality and innovative and engaging resources for the French language classroom.

The following workshops will be offered:
