Learning unit contents
The course of 'Didactique du FLES" provides a systematic presentation of the various vehicles and components of teaching French as a foreign and second language:
- the subject matter of this course (language, communication, culture, etc.),
- its players (the learners, the teacher, etc.),
- its methods (grammar/translation, structural/behaviourist, communicative, etc.)
- its objectives and its goals (and their evaluation, etc.)
- its circumstances (place, institution, conditions in which it takes place), etc.
The course of "Pédagogie de la grammaire du FLES" introduces...
- the place of grammar within linguistics and language teaching,
- the different kinds of grammar that are recognized and that can be used,
- the role of grammar in teaching and learning a language,
- the status of implicit and explicit grammar, in particular in the context of learning using communicative and immersion methods,
- the issue of selection, (spiral) progression, (interlanguage) assimilation of grammatical content,
- the structures and processes for teaching grammar in class in inductive logic and action-oriented.

- distinguish the linguistic, didactic and acquisitionist theories of the grammar of a foreign language
- criticize and exploit the methodological options and the grammar reference tools available
- elaborate lesson plan
- create exercises and tasks to conceptualize grammatical rules from authentic documents
- define linguistic, discursive and cultural objectives
- handle all macro-skills
- choose authentic and pertinent documents
- set up activities according to different stages
