The course prepares participants to teach French to different types of immigrant communities, with the particular aim of facilitating their social integration in Belgique francophone.
The course first of all presents the different aspects: sociological, academic, cultural and linguistic, which determines the learning of the French language in a migration context. The course then deals with the general principles of conditions experienced by immigrants, as a variety of concrete situations that immigrants (and their children) must confront, either before or after arriving in their host country.
From the analysis of various situations and experiences of "primo-arrivants" and teachers, we will see the experience and profiles of immigrants, pedagogical and didactic approaches (intercultural, by project, etc.). But also the resources and plans developed in Belgium and elsewhere. Critically, in a theoretical and practical light, a number of specific teaching tools and plans (DASPA, "parcours d'intégration") will be analyzed. Finally, the questions considered include the objectives to be defined, the methods to utilize and the types of interaction to develop in the classroom in relation to the outside world. What is the relationship between language and immigration? What French to teach and with what resources? Which devices andmethods to choose and in what context?
