Learning unit contents
This course introduces the principles and theories of teaching/learning foreign languages ??and their methodological applications in French as a foreign language: how do you learn a foreign language, and in what progression? What distinguishes learning a foreign language from learning a first language? What to do with my learners' languages? How to react to mistakes? What tasks should be proposed to develop written and oral skills, with what tools and resources? And grammar, how to work on it from a communicative and functional perspective?
This course aims to prepare for the profession of teacher of French as a foreign language, by focusing on a socio-didactic understanding of teaching situations and so-called "allophone" audiences, in their diversity (pupils from the German-speaking and Flemish communities, exchange students, pupils and adults in situations - in the plural because necessarily diverse - of forced migration, etc.).
The two learning activities "Didactics of FLES" and "Pedagogy of FLES grammar" will cover a fairly broad range of didactic questions, while dealing with them in a situated manner.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
At the end of the course, students will be able to:
- distinguish theories and conditions for learning a foreign language (in relation to the first language, in particular),
- take a critical look at the methodological options for teaching foreign languages ??and the limits of the different paradigms,
- analyze and use resource tools for teaching/learning FSL (manuals, reference materials, etc.),
- script a "zero" lesson in FSL,
- define the objectives and progression of a FSL course,
- 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
Good knowledge of French grammar
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Teaching activities will vary throughout the sessions: preparatory readings or video capsules to watch in advance (on the flipped classroom model) to promote active understanding of concepts and leave time for discussion within the course; comparative analysis of lesson plans in small groups, analysis of classroom practices, etc.
The MOOC "Moi, prof de FLE" (Defays, Meunier & Thonard, 2018) will be integrated into my teaching.
