The CIEP and languages

The CIEP contributes to the promotion of French abroad as an international language of communication and schooling.
As such, it leads audits and expertise missions, both in France and abroad, in French as a foreign language, as a second language and as a language of teaching (teaching of languages, curricula, teacher training, etc.) within the framework of projects and responses to invitations to tender.
In its offer for lifelong learning, the CIEP proposes annual internships for French bilingual establishments as well as summer and winter universities (BELC training programmes) for French teachers, trainers and management personnel. It also replies to those demands from local authorities or French diplomats for up to date training.
It develops the required tools for distance training, such as PRO FLE modules, carried out in partnership with the the Centre National d'Enseignement à Distance (CNED) and the Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs. Along with the Fédération internationale des professeurs (FIPF), it manages the Organisation internationale de la Francophonie (OIF), Franc-parler.org (link is external).
Its activities include, amongst others, the organisation of seminars with various partners, within the context of reflecting on French policies abroad. More...
