Learning unit contents

Teaching methodology for non-fiction text genres

Part A of this teaching unit is designed to familiarize students with non-fictional text genres listed in the legal requirements of the Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles. 

Part B of this teaching unit will address forms of literature that are accessible in a foreign language to upper secondary school learners, such as graded readers, novels for adolescents and young adults, picture books, fairy tales, and short stories. 

The practical component will consist in designing a 10-hour didactic sequence plan, structured either around a non-fictional text genre or around a text drawn from children's or young adult literature.

Learning outcomes of the learning unit

Teaching methodology for non-fiction text genres

The aim of the course is to enable the analysis of text genres-both their role within relevant social practices and their generic and linguistic features-as well as to foster an understanding of when and how they can be taught in foreign language courses at the secondary school level.

The course will also raise students' awareness of the generic features of various literary forms and will propose methodological approaches for their integration into foreign language teaching.
