Elisabeth Lefort

Elementary French

My name is Elisabeth Lefort. I was born in France. I have been living with my husband in Ethiopia since 1999. My husband, Leo Lefort, is the Art teacher at ICS for High School. We have a three-year old son Tom who just started I.C.S in pre-KA.

I earned a BA in French Literature and Teaching French as a Foreign Language at the University of Rennes (France) and another BA in "Management of Cultural and Artistic Events" at the University of Bordeaux. I received my MA in Teaching French as a Foreign Language at the University of Grenoble. Since then I have taught at Addis Ababa University, at the Institute of Language Studies, and at the Alliance Ethio-Française.

I am really excited to start my fifth year at ICS teaching French in the Elementary School and I look forward to introducing the children to the French language and to the cultures and civilizations of French-speaking people around the world.

My hobbies and interests include spending time with my family, travelling, playing the violin and of course eating French cheese!
