Laura Gosselin
Teacher of Labise School
My name is Laura Gosselin and I am one of the French language teachers at the Labise school.
Today we will get a little closer to each other, because I will tell you my story.
I spent all my school years with my family in France. In 2014, I received a degree in literature with a major in Chinese and Spanish literature.
Then I enrolled for a bachelor's degree in Chinese for FLE (Français Langue Etrangère) at the University of Lille 3, from which I graduated at the University of Artois in Arras.
Most recently, in August 2020, I finally received a master's degree in FLE-FLS-FOS at the same university.
You might have noticed that I like learning new languages. So it is!
I know 10 languages, including French, English, Spanish, Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Thai, Ukrainian, Arabic and Italian, but at completely different levels.
I developed a love for languages at school when I started learning English and Spanish. In high school, Chinese was also added to these languages, since childhood I always liked Chinese culture. Then other languages came into my life.
I started my career as a French teacher 3 years ago in the UPE2A class in France, and then at a school in Thailand, where I gave lessons for the first time in classes from 15 to 40 students. We also organized a "French camp" there to prepare students for the DELF exam in a week. It was an incredible experience!
I also managed to work at Alliance Française in Ukraine, where I learned a couple of phrases in Ukrainian.
I'm sure I managed to master so many foreign languages because of the desire to discover something new. To constantly learn is my source of energy.
And what gives me motivation not to go astray?
You, my students. I am madly fond of sharing knowledge, so I get my energy from the light in the eyes of my students. I think we share this energy inside of us, and that's what helped them successfully pass the DELF, enroll in a French university and integrate into a new culture.
If you, like me, know why it is so important to set goals for yourself, not to go off the planned path and watch TV series in the original version, sign up for a trial lesson with me!
I'll be waiting for you!
