The experience of teaching French in adults and older adults participating in the Institutional Program for Adults and Older Adults (PIAM) of the University of Costa Rica (UCR)

Abstract

We often hear that the best age to learn a foreign language is childhood. This creates the prejudice that by trying later in life it will be too late. The Institutional Program for Adults and Seniors (PIAM) of the University of Costa Rica (UCR) offers a series of courses in the French language that allows students in this language to enjoy the teaching-learning process and reduce age stigma. and strengthen your experience of healthy aging. This presentation allows you to learn about the course offerings and the different strengths and challenges that occur inside and outside the PIAM French language classrooms.
