TEFL/tesol France – Brittany
If you decide to study our course in Brittany, you will have the chance to enjoy a wide variety of activities. The stunning village of Plelauff has several restaurants and bars for you to spend time mixing with the welcoming local people. You will also find the cuisine in the area outstanding.
There are many summer activities to enjoy. Lake Guerledan is popular for water skiing, pedalos and jet skiing and away from the water there is also a small golf course. Plelauff is also situated near the beach so you can spend time sun bathing or taking a stroll. Another popular activity in the region is cycling. You can explore the area on two wheels at your own pace. Cycling is a pleasant option in this part of France as you will find only a few real hills.
Other activities to enjoy in the area include fishing, ten pin bowling, horse riding and a local cinema. Paris is also an option for weekend visits which our training centre can help arrange for you.
Brittany – Climate
The region of Brittany, situated in north-west France, juts out into the Atlantic Ocean and is surrounded by water on three sides. Rainfall in this region does occur frequently, but not too often to make it unpleasant and the climate is generally quite warm. The rainfall is actually an advantage because it helps to keep the region lush and green throughout the year. You can also frequently experience cloudless, sunny days giving a balanced climate to enjoy.
Temperatures in the summer can reach 87?F (30?C) and can fall in the winter to about 40?F (5?C to 10?C). Snowfalls are rare in this part of France.

The first session will take place on Monday morning at 10:00 a.m. The full course schedule for the week will also be provided on Monday morning. Sessions generally run between 10:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. when there is observed teaching practice (OTP), with appropriate breaks throughout the day. However, variations in schedules do occur from time to time.
Trainees are expected to attend all input and other sessions included on the schedule unless they are sick and require medical treatment. This is particularly important for OTP. It is very difficult to arrange an alternate OTP time and there will be an additional fee for rescheduled OTP sessions.

Lessons are based upon real teaching resources found all over the world and you will have the chance to create your own materials as well.
