Biography
Clément Courouve grew up in a small, wine-producing village in the Moselle valley, France. He is a graduate of the University of Metz, where he was a language student. With a particular interest in linguistics, grammar and translation, he went on to study for a Master's degree before spending two years abroad as a French language assistant. In the meantime, he passed the French competitive examination to become a language teacher and subsequently taught in the French education system for a couple of years, before joining the University of Cambridge as a teacher of French in 2011.
Aside from his teaching commitment at CLIC (Centre for Languages and Inter-Communication), Clément also teaches in the French section of the MMLL Faculty (Modern and Medieval Languages and Linguistics) and supervises undergraduate linguists at Fitzwilliam, Murray Edwards and Lucy Cavendish. In 2017, he was appointed Special Supervisor of Studies in French at Fitzwilliam College and became a Bye-Fellow at Lucy Cavendish College in 2023.
He also teaches specialist and general language courses in the Cambridge University Language Programme (CULP) at the Language Centre.
