Hello,
I’m an English teacher from France looking for exchange partners for my students.
I could welcome a school group if this group accepts being spread over different schools in our suburb. We live 20km south of Bordeaux in a little town called La Brede, which is situated in the middle of vineyards. I could organize trips to Bordeaux (and even Paris) , a farewell party, a sport game…
If your school is not ready to accept this, would you accept talking about our project to your students so we could exchange with individuals?
Probably I would have a group of 30 students aged 13-16 and I would be looking into an exchange of three weeks.
As we are not allowed to leave during the school year we would only be able to travel during July and August. We could welcome any time which is convenient for your students.

AATF member seeking contact with colleagues who use puppetry or other
performing art techniques for teaching French on all levels. Am hoping to put
together a session for 63rd annual April 2010 Kentucky Foreign Language
Conference (Lexington, KY). Have myself been doing puppet shows in French for
K-5 as well as French-language theatre at university level in SC for past
several years.
If you share these interests or know colleagues who do, please contact me at:

OPEN YOUR HEART AND HOME
to a French, German, Swiss or Korean exchange student
for the coming 2009/2010 school year
Caring host families (with or without children) are needed to provide food, a bed and a loving home for one or two semesters starting in late August. EMF students have medical insurance, spending money for their personal expenses and expect to share their host family’s daily life including household responsibilities. They speak English, are well-screened and eager to experience life in America. Their stay here is sponsored and supervised by EMF (Educational Merit Foundation), a non-profit, educational exchange program. It is not too late to apply. For more information on EMF students, please call Marie-Claude Dijoud now at 1-800-467-8363 or visit our web site at www.emfusa.org
Veuillez agréer, Monsieur Madame, l’expression de mes sentiments distingués,

Bonjour!
I have a colleague (English teacher) who wants to study French in Paris this
summer. She is at a low-intermediate level in French and is looking for a
quality program to increase her speaking skills and grammar knowledge? Could
anyone recommend a program for adult students?
