la roulotte polyglotte

• Uzège region, France

• Founder and main polyglot

  • Sep 2015 - Jul 2020

  La roulotte polyglotte is a unique mobile classroom offering English and French language classes in the villages of the Uzège region as well as creative and fun workshops. As of September 2018, la roulotte polyglotte is collaborating with the Université Populaire de l’Uzège offering English classes for teens, an English initiation workshop for young children as well as a Learn English through Theatre workshop for adults. As a foreign language teacher my aim is to encourage imagination, nurture a desire to learn and empower student understanding. My teaching method is inspired by Steiner-Waldorf pedagogy as well as by my many years of professional experience. The method recognises the importance of oral communication and contextual learning mimicking as much as possible a child’s subconscious processes when learning their mother tongue. I use poems, songs and verses as a way to encourage the students to work on their oral comprehension. This allows them to naturally increase their vocabulary, and move on to reading then writing and grammar. In this way the learning process makes innate sense to the student and flows from their own desire to communicate and interact in the foreign language. During their time in class, the students create their own workbooks with my support, investing their imagination and creative spirit in the learning process. Show less

Encuento Aprendizaje

• Madrid Area, Spain

• Founder

  • Nov 2010 - Dec 2014

  Encuento is all about imaginative language tuition. The learning of a foreign language (such as English or French) can so easily become tiresome for children. Yet, through the art of storytelling a language can become enlivened and transformed. The richness of sounds apparent in the interaction of the story’s characters and in the vivid descriptions of the story’s setting. Through stories children learn the power of language, its ability to touch our emotions and to open up our imagination. Storytelling inspires young minds to start telling their own stories… Show less
