About François Thibaut
- Francois Thibaut is a self-taught language researcher and educator who has developed successful French language teaching methods for children and adults.
- He has created Cercle Franco Americain, The French Workshop for Children, The Language Workshop For Children, and the French Language Salon.
- Thibaut has proved that students of different ages (toddlers, children, adults) require a different approach to language learning.
- For toddlers and children, language immersion in a structured play group on a regular basis triggers the process of learning.
- Adults learn best by focusing on conversations that integrate conjugation and grammar into the conversation, as well as the value of French culture, its sociability, and its sense of hospitality. This led to the creation of language education materials, including original songs, games, books, and the “Professor Toto” video series.
- In 2019, the French Ministère de l’Education Nationale honored Thibaut with the Chevalier de l’ Ordre des Palmes Académiques (Order of Academic Palms) for his contribution to French language and culture.
- The Palmes Académiques is a national order bestowed by the French government to distinguished academics and figures in the world of culture and education, and to educators who have contributed to the expansion of the French language and culture in the world.
