| PSTA0004-4 | On site training : teaching French as a foreign language both in Belgium and abroad, including the drafting of training reports and attending a workshop on how to integrate in-school training
|
|
| Duration : | 40h Internship |
|
| Number of credits : |
|
|
| Lecturer : | Jean-Marc Defays |
|
Language(s) of instruction :
|
| French language |
|
Organisation and examination :
|
| All year long |
|
Course contents :
|
| The 60 hours of the required pedagogical internship will involve various activities having to do with practices of observation applied to a class studying French as a foreign language (or as a second language, alpha language, etc.), paying attention to teaching in various contexts (non-profit organisations, secondary teaching, foreign universities, etc.), to different sorts of work done in cooperation with supervisors and fellow students, and to writing thoughtful and critical reports for the various internship programmes. |
|
Learning outcomes of the course :
|
| Students will learn to :
- Develop an accurate critical view of teaching practices associated with French as a foreign language
- Produce adequate lesson plans that are appropriate for a given teaching situation
- Adapt themselves to differing teaching conditions (public, in different kinds of spaces, institutional constraints, etc.)
|
|
Prerequisites and co-requisites/ Recommended optional programme components :
|
| Non-native French speakers must have achieved at least the C1 level in the French language in order to be admitted to internship programmes. |
|
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :
|
| Initially interns must observe classes in French as a foreign language at the ILSV and will be invited to discuss their observations at a meeting with other interns and the directors of the Didactic Service for French as a foreign language.
For each internship module of 15 hours (3 modules in all), students will produce observations, more or less 1/3 having to do with observation by the internship supervisor, and the remaining 2/3 of the work will consist of teaching the class initially observed.
Lessons will be prepared with the assistance of the internship supervisor, who will have the task of helping with the lessons that are presented by the intern, and also of evaluating them.
Each internship will be evaluated through a written report (see modes of evaluation). |
|
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :
|
| The intern may choose the locations where the work is to be performed, but at least one part of it must be performed in Belgium, and it is recommended that the types of public institutions be varied, in order for the work experience to be both rich and diverse.
If the intern is already teaching, his/ her current workplace can be acceptable as a location for internship work, provided that the student is being supervised by an internship director (fellow teacher, pedagogical director) and a member of the Didactics Service for French as a foreign language is able to visit the intern and observe him / her at that workplace. |
|
Recommended or required readings :
|
| |
|
Assessment methods and criteria :
|
| The intern must write a single (observations + teaching materials) critical and self-evaluative report for each part of the internship work, in which he / she will describe the lessons that he /she has observed or personally taught (class management, skills practiced, reaction of learners, etc.). In this report, practices observed by the student should be evaluated as well as the practices he / she has used in teaching. |
