Very enriching workshop!
I would qualify the NLA as revolutionary, as much for the learner as for the teacher!

Very enriching workshop!
I would qualify the NLA as revolutionary, as much for the learner as for the teacher!
I’m looking for short texts on topics that interest my learners, and they develop their linguistic competence thanks to our conversations about our personal experience with those topics… Thanks to the NLA, I’ve cut back considerably on the time required to prepare for my classes…
The NLA gave me a new way to look at my teaching…
ANL 1, Rouen (French in Normandy), 07-2017
Impossible to go back to traditional teaching methods; after being trained in the NLA, the status quo is unthinkable!
ANL 1, Montréal (LRDG), 05-2018
An unforgettable workshop that rekindled my love of teaching; absolutely imperative for second- and foreign-language teachers!
ANL 1, Montréal (LRDG), 05-2018
This workshop turned the way I teach second languages completely upside-down What a wonderful discovery!
ANL 1, Montréal (LRDG), 05-2018
A sensible approach that provides immediate, concrete results!

If you are teaching foreign languages, NLA is a must!
ANL 1, Tokyo IFJT, 03-2015
I emerged from the workshop with a new vision of learning As the NLA makes you completely re-envision your classroom practices, time is allotted for the workshop leaders and your peers to discuss matters as soon as any attendee feels the need to do so, which is incredibly valuable.
You’re told things that seem obvious, and you’re gobsmacked because you’ve never used them! And now you’ll finally be able to!

In particular, CiFRAN members commit to clearly distinguishing practices they adopt from the creators of the NLA and those drawn from other sources or that come from other educational currents, as well as always citing all sources as specifically as possible.
All pedagogical approaches, strategies, and materials proposed by CiFRAN members, teachers, trainers, and experts are intended…
– to improve the efficacy of second- or foreign-language teaching, whether for occasional speakers or immigrants;…
– secondly, on implementing a systematic and methodical evaluation procedures and sharing the results of classroom experiments.
