Learning unit contents
This teaching unit aims to train students, future FL1 teachers, in the design of teaching methods and reading strategies (including linguistic strategies) adapted to the diversity of text genres, mainly non-fiction, encountered in upper secondary school classrooms. The documents analyzed will include various genres such as press articles (e.g., news articles, editorials), essays (e.g., opinion pieces, excerpts from philosophical and sociological works), scientific articles and reports, and other complex documents such as journals, exhibition catalogs, tutorials, etc.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
At the end of the course, students will be able to select complex documents of varying difficulty and identify their main communicative features (as well as other functions). They will be able to identify their coherence and cohesion, as well as deconstruct their structure to highlight their specific features. They will also learn how to write instructions to enable their students to engage with the texts, grasp their meaning, and understand how they are constructed.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
Strong textual analysis skills. Curiosity about contemporary media.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
During the 30 hours of classes, students will implement strategies for reading a variety of texts (individually or in groups). They will learn how to compile an information file and analyze it (by writing clear instructions) in order to extract information for a targeted writing activity in line with the requirements of the "référentiel"
