Director’s word

Gilles Losseroy

«I joined the Summer Courses in 1985 as a professor of grammar and literature. I became the Director in 2014.

After a “FLE” (French Foreign Language) training at the CAREL of Royan, I went to Indonesia as a professorand I elaborated a teaching method based on theater as a pedagogical media. As such, I keep on leading the Drama workshop of our Summer Courses.

My everyday activity during the rest of the year is divided between teaching at the University of Lorraine and directing plays. Our team of experienced professors, who are specialists in teaching FLE, our student-organizers and myself really wish to guide you through the discovery and the practice of French; beyond that, we want to share our passion for the French culture in its geographic, scientific and artistic diversity.»
