  11. French 5: Jeux d’écritures : écriture créative en français
    Evening
    Course start date:  Mon 28 Apr 2025

    Location on this date:  Online

    Tutors:  Pierre Porcheron
    Ce cours vous invite à jouer... à jouer avec les mots et avec la langue française afin de répondre à vos aspirations créatives tout en utilisant vos talents linguistiques et en les développant davantage. Son concept repose sur l’utilisation de vos compétences orales et écrites en dehors de la routine structurée d’une classe traditionnelle, en vous permettant non seulement de contourner les difficultés du français, mais aussi en explorant ses sonorités, ses rythmes, ses ambiguïtés, ses effets comiques ou dramatiques.







    Son but est donc de vous inspirer, de vous donner les moyens d’exprimer votre inspiration et, ultimement de vous donner la liberté de créer vos propres textes.
