Learning unit contents
The teaching activity "Questions pratiques" is intended to be a forum for exchanges with practitioners specialized in French as a foreign or second language.
It tackles various educational issues that brought up daily in teaching French as a foreign or second language, for example:
- the first lessons, icebreaker activities and methods to privilege with beginners,
- phonetics,
- evaluation of level of ability and particular needs of learners,
- supervision of written activities,
- supervision of oral activities,
- theater,
- vocabulary,
- conversation tables,
- critical utilisation of manuals,
- interculturality.
The course first of all presents the different aspects: sociological, academic, cultural and linguistic, which determines the learning of the French language in a migration context. The course then deals with the general principles of conditions experienced by immigrants, as a variety of concrete situations that immigrants (and their children) must confront, either before or after arriving in their host country.
From the analysis of various situations and experiences of "primo-arrivants" and teachers, we will see the appropriation experience and profiles of immigrants, pedagogical and didactic approaches (intercultural, by project, etc.). But also the resources and plans developed in Belgium and elsewhere.
The course prepares participants to teach French to different types of immigrant communities, with the particular aim of facilitating their social inclusion in Belgique francophone.
