Participants will engage in practical and meaningful work designed to develop language proficiency specific to the FSL teaching profession. They will be invited to listen, speak, read, and write in A1-level French while forming professional connections in an inclusive and welcoming environment.
Participants will further develop language proficiency through exposure to high-frequency vocabulary specific to FSL teaching. They will gain a clear understanding of the proficiency expectations and evaluation criteria for the A2 level and of how these expectations can be integrated into the FSL classroom.
Participants will use their increasingly independent language skills to explore the challenges of FSL teaching, including student diversity and engagement, Differentiated Instruction, and Universal Design for Learning.
Teacher-learners will participate in various B2-level synchronous and asynchronous listening, speaking, reading, and writing tasks in a gradual release of responsibility model. They will develop effective pedagogical practices and communication skills using research-based strategies and authentic texts.
In this course, participants will learn practical and time-saving strategies for designing and implementing authentic and engaging assessments to evaluate student language proficiency in a classroom with diverse needs.
In this course, we will explore different approaches and strategies for teaching French. We will share examples of what works (and what doesn’t!) and discuss the research and experiences that inform our teaching practices.
