The first issue of SYNERGIES FLE will be released in Spring. To submit an article, fill in the online form or write to e-journal@france-synergies.org.

SYNERGIES FLE is the independently reviewed e-journal of FRANCE SYNERGIES. Each issue includes a wide range of articles on all aspects of the teaching of French as a foreign language, and provides a space for exchanges between teachers and teachers-in-training of French as a foreign language.

Contributions of all formats and sizes are welcome either in French or in English. The journal is particularly interested in exploring the potential of electronic publication in the promotion of French language education. For more information : gachon@wisc.edu.

Are you a High School student in the United States (K11-12)? If so, you may use the Student E-mail Hotline FRANCE SYNERGIES has created for you. Use the Hotline if you need information about France, French at the University of Wisconsin, studying in France, French Universities, French language certifications, internships in France, etc.

Also, if you are currently working on a major classroom group project on France or French culture, you may also seek our assistance if there are at least five students involved in your group. We will not do any work in your place but will help you locate the best resources for your project.

To use the Hotline, simply send a message to hotline@france.synergies.org and indicate your name, the name and address of your school, the name and e-mail address of your French teacher, and, if applicable (group projects), the names and e-mail addresses of every student in your group.
