| Professional development is critical in any occupation, and teaching a foreign language is no exception! Continue to develop your own knowledge of French and the most current methodologies and practices through our teacher refresher course in Paris, France. Taught by native French speakers, our courses are broken down into three sections; the language, teaching methodologies, and France itself.
The French language portion will focus on linguistic skills, especially in grammatical analysis, pronunciation and oral dexterity. The methodology portion will give you the tools to provide your students with the most current means of learning a second language. And lastly, a study of France will allow you to convey to your students a more clear idea of what's going on in France, what interests French people, etc.
This course is critical for teaching others the French language. With our world changing constantly, it is critical that those who are teaching our youth have the most current and up-to-date information about their subject matter. In this case, of course, the French language and culture.
Classes are small, no more than 13 participants, so you'll be ensured quality attention. Of course, a relatively strong understanding of the French language is required. Contact NRCSA for more details and to set up your program in Paris.

| Brush up on your Greek this summer with our highly specialized Teacher Refresher program. If you teach modern or ancient Greek, this program is a must for you! Not only will you sharpen your language skills, but you will also gain a stronger grasp of Greek culture and society, a critical aspect of teaching such an ancient and history-rich language like Greek.
The program is run from 9 am till 1 pm Monday through Friday. Class size is kept very small, usually no more than 5 students, in order to provide you with as much personal attention as possible. The programs run for two or four weeks, enough time to teach you new methodologies of teaching Greek and clean up your Greek language abilities.
Without experiencing Greece and the Greek language where it was born, how can you be as effective of a teacher as possible? This program will give you the background and insight into teaching the language that will allow you to really make a difference in the classroom.

| Teachers of the Portuguese language, regardless of background, are welcome to attend this program to improve their culture and technical knowledge of the Portuguese language. Organized four times a year, this Teacher-specific course is an intensive overview of not only the Portuguese language, but also the methodologies critical for teaching Portuguese as a foreign language. 30 hours a week, and lasting for two weeks, this program will take a teacher's abilities to the next level.
The courses are conducted in our beautiful NRCSA Center in Faro, which has successfully conducted Portuguese courses for foreigners since 1972. Our local Center has even established a special department in charge of the creation of materials and the improvements of teaching techniques. This emphasizes the high value of our Teacher Refresher course.
Students have free access to all the facilities, which includes a language library, language laboratory, video and computer services. Teachers are carefully selected, university qualified, and native speakers of Portuguese.
