The FASP for teachers of French as a foreign language
The “Le français au sens propre” training course is aimed at teachers who want to teach French as a foreign language in an innovative way, rooted in the local area and linked to contemporary issues.
Developed by the Alliance Française de Lyon, this training course is part of a series of FLE training courses for teachers focused on active teaching methods, the use of authentic documents, and the integration of digital technology in French as a foreign language classrooms.
A ready-to-use teaching tool is available to teachers, enabling them to design engaging lesson plans while raising students’ awareness of ecology and environmental responsibility as part of their French language instruction.

At the Alliance Française in Lyon, learning French is above all a cultural immersion and a human experience. Our teachers are all certified FLE experts with Master’s degrees, who use a communicative and action-oriented approach. From day one, learners are encouraged to speak and interact in order to progress naturally in French.
The courses use the textbooks Défi actuel (A1-A2) and Défi (B1-B2), available in a hybrid edition (student’s book + online activity book with videos, tutorials and pronunciation exercises). Our online educational tool centralizes materials, exercises, and videos for a comprehensive, interactive experience.
Our experienced teachers ensure a coherent progression with clear objectives and final tasks for each session. Learners develop skills that they can use in their daily and professional lives.
Learning French with the Alliance Française de Lyon is much more than just taking a class: it’s about experiencing the language on a daily basis, making rapid progress, and discovering the richness of Francophone culture.
