Learning unit contents
Stages d'observation
The obervation internship take place throughout the year: first at the ISLV and then within the framework of the 3 practical internship in classes of French as a foreign language (or alpha-FLE). These observations are the subject of a brief written report by the trainee and discussed during reflective practice sessions.
Stages d'enseignement en Belgique ou à l'étranger
The teaching periods take place in classes of French as a foreign language, second or alpha-FLE, in various contexts (asbl, secondary education, university, abroad). These internships are the subject of a brief written report, of various exchanges with the supervisors, the members of the teaching department of the FLE, and the other trainees.
Pratiques réflexives
The reflective practice sessions consist of analyzing the observations of classes and the teaching stages in order to develop a critical view on the practices of class.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
Stages d'observation
Students will learn to develop an accurate critical view of teaching practices associated with French as a foreign language in order to improve their own practice
Stages d'enseignement en Belgique ou à l'étranger
Students will learn to :
- Develop an accurate critical view of teaching practices associated with French as a foreign/second 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.)
- Use the tools offered in Special Didactics courses
Pratiques réflexives
The learning objectives are: - develop a reflexive approach on teaching practice - analyze practices and propose improvements / alternatives

Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Stages d'observation
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 members of the Didactic Service for French as a foreign language.
Each practical course will include at least 3 hours of observation of the supervisor and the class in which the trainee will teach. These must imperatively take place before the teaching practices so that the trainee can adapt his preparations to the learners and to the particular context of the course.
The trainee will use the observation grid provided by the FLE Teaching Department (eCampus) and attach it to his training report.
These observation sessions will be exploited during reflective practice seminars.
Stages d'enseignement en Belgique ou à l'étranger
After observing their supervisor and the class in which they will teach, the trainees must prepare lesson plans, in collaboration with their supervisor to whom they will submit their preparations at least 3 days before beginning to teach. The first preparations may also be submitted to a pedagogical instructor to assist in the development of the pedagogical sequences.
Each training course will consist of at least 12 hours of teachings in the presence of the supervisor, who will be responsible for evaluating the lessons learned and the trainee using the evaluation grid provided by the FLE Teaching Department.
The intern must write a brief reflexive report for each practicum and include the following documents:
the observation grid
the assessment grid of the supervisor
the comments of the supervisor
the self-assessment grid and the trainee's comments
The documents to be filled in are available on eCampus and must be deposited in one single file.

Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning)
Stages d'observation
/
Stages d'enseignement en Belgique ou à l'étranger
The trainee must choose the place of internship from the list proposed by the special didactic service. He must carry out at least one internship in Belgium throughout his training, and diversify the types of establishments and publics in order to benefit from a rich and varied experience.
If the intern is already teaching, his 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 at that workplace.
Pratiques réflexives
Participation in reflective practice sessions is mandatory.
Recommended or required readings
Assessment methods and criteria
Stages d'observation
The trainee completes the observation grid for each internship and appends it to his internship report. These observation sessions are not the subject of a quantified evaluation but of a "YES / NO" in the final evaluation grid. The "NO" leading to the adjournment.
Stages d'enseignement en Belgique ou à l'étranger
Each training course is evaluated by the supervisor and a member of the FLE teaching department and by a self-assessment by the trainee.
An individual meeting is organized in June with the members of the teaching department. Each student presents a lesson that has worked less well, a critical analysis of this lesson and its teaching practice, and proposes improvements.
The final mark obtained for each internship is an average of the marks awarded by the trainee, the member of the didactic department who visited the trainee, and the score resulting from the evaluation of the presentation of the lesson at the end of the academic year.
