Teaching French with radio: training lessons

Radio is excellent for teaching French through sound immersion, utilising the most up-to-date innovative approaches.

Prepare to utilise the radio in French lessons as a teaching tool.

Radio provides schools with a wealth of sound documents that can be utilised to increase spoken French comprehension and oral and written expression, all while establishing an educational approach to media and information. These audio records also serve as a starting point for radio production projects in class.
