Training French teachers in Pakistan

PR-04/10

The NUML university with
the support of the French Embassy, organised a one week training for French
professors. Approximately 40 professors from Karachi, Hyderabad, Lahore,
Faislabad, Quetta, Islamabad and Rawalpindi gathered around French Professor
Mohamed Embarki, from the Franche-Comté University in France.
The seminar that ends Friday, focused on the role
of pronunciation (phonetics) in the french (foreign language) classes.

The Ambassador of France, Daniel
Jouanneau, visited NUML this Thursday accompanied by the Vice-chancellor of NUML.
He met the professors and commended such initiatives, which contribute to the
development of French language in Pakistan.

This initiative is part of
a French language support programme for schools and universities of Pakistan.
Since 2008, training courses are held regularly in Pakistan or in France.
Over 90 French professors are still
involved in different programmes supported by the French embassy. Currently,
more than 3500 students are taking French courses in the four French centres
located in Islamabad, Karachi, Lahore and Faisalabad.
