a) Preparing a French lesson: Artificial intelligence as a personal assistant (120 minutes) – lecturer: Moïse Lemonnier

Artificial intelligence can do much more than just ‘chat’. In this hands-on workshop, we will explore Google AI Studio, a powerful tool that allows you to configure AI according to your own teaching rules. We will see how to use it to help you correct and comment on written work in detail, generate contextualised vocabulary lists and create independent grammar exercises.

b) How can you turn the DELF/DALF exams into a motivating goal rather than a source of stress? (120 minutes) - lecturer: Cécile Sanz

DELF/DALF exams are often seen as a source of stress and an unattainable goal for learners, even though obtaining a DELF/DALF diploma is an undeniable asset for them. Together, we will look at how to present and approach the exam in a calm and appealing way. Fun educational activities and exercises will also be suggested so that you can incorporate them into your lessons to prepare students for the DELF/DALF exam in an interesting, innovative and stress-free way.
