Last week, Alliance Ethio-Française Addis Ababa hosted the final training session of the Promoting French in Ethiopiaproject, funded by the Embassy of France in Ethiopia. 🇪🇹🇫🇷
From 18 to 22 May 2026, 24 secondary school French teachers from Addis Ababa, Mekelle, Dire Dawa, Ambo, Adama, Yabelo, and Bedele came together for a 27-hour training focused on French language didactics and innovative approaches to teaching French without materials.
Led by experienced trainers Linda Maldji and Aude Dubuisson from the Centre de Linguistique Appliquée (CLA), the training provided participants with practical tools, fresh perspectives, and opportunities to exchange experiences with fellow educators from across the country.
As the final training of the project, this session marked an important step in strengthening French language education and supporting the dedicated teachers who bring the French language to classrooms throughout Ethiopia.
