Schedule
Units courses prerequisite and corequisite
Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program
Learning unit contents
The course introduces...
- The place of grammar within linguistics and language teaching,
- The status of implicit grammar and explicit grammar, particularly in the context of learning according to communicative and actional approaches,
- The question of selection, progression (spiral), assimilation (interlanguages) of grammatical content,
- The types of activities and grammar exercises in a progressive, inductive and action-oriented logic.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
The participants will be able to approach grammar notion critically, to connect it coherently with their teaching French as a foreign and second language, to prepare and create appropriate and effective lessons in specific contexts.
Upon completion of the course students should be able to :
- 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
- handle all macro-skills
- choose authentic and pertinent documents
- set up activities according to different stages
- prepare a grammar corpus.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
Some strong knowledge of French normative grammar.
Have attended the first sessions of Didactique du FLE/S and the practical sessions associated with teaching placements (part I)
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Students must actively participate in the course and perform different tasks remotely (flipped-classroom) which are then the subject of face-to-face critical discussions. Several MOOC sequences "Moi, prof de FLE" will also be exploited.
The participants are expected to prepare a grammar lesson.
Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)

Use of AI for written work (September 2025)
Students are required to read the ULiège Charter on the use of generative intelligence in academic work in order to use it in a thoughtful, responsible, critical, and transparent manner: https://www.student.uliege.be/cms/c_19230399/fr/faq-student-charte-uliege-dutilisation-des-intelligences-artificielles-generatives-dans-les-travaux-universitaires
Artificial intelligence can support your personal work, but it cannot replace it.
If students use artificial intelligence, they must provide detailed information about their use of AI: the tool used, the prompt, the type of assistance requested, the results obtained, a critical assessment of these results, and the sections of the work concerned.
Any omission or concealment of the use of AI may be considered a violation of academic integrity rules.
