Planned learning activities and teaching methods

After having thought about the impact of digital technology in the teaching/learning of French as a foreign language, students will discover a series of tools enabling them to test the class, to assess their expertise and to stimulate peer exchanges and collaboration inside or outside the classroom. Numerous examples of concrete applications will be shown.
They will then be invited to enrich one or more existing lessons (original or from a manual) using these applications.

Association of one or more MOOCs

The MOOC entitled 'Moi, prof de FLE (P3)' is associated with this course.


Additional information:

The MOOC "Moi, prof de FLE" is the result of a collaboration between the Institut Supérieur des Langues Vivantes and the Department of French and Romance Languages and Literatures of the University of Liège. It is based on the main questions that a teacher of French as a foreign language and as a second language must ask himself: what are the characteristics of an FLE class and the motivations of its participants? How to manage an FLE class and organize stimulating lessons to encourage learners' participation? How to develop oral and written comprehension, expression and interaction from the very first lessons? How to teach grammar in a simple and effective way? How to combine language and culture teaching in the EFL classroom?
