The SUPFLES Summer School

Our University Language Service offers teacher training courses aimed at French teachers, in France and/or abroad, who wish to pursue professional development.

Every year in July, the University of Aix-Marseille welcomes you as part of SUPFLES to take part in a summer school reserved for a small group of French teachers working abroad who wish to discuss their teaching practices in Provence. The key theme of SUPFLES is creativity in FLE teaching methodology. In 2026, whilst remaining within this thematic framework, we will be offering a summer school with a stronger focus on the theme: ‘Literature, the arts and orality’.
