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.
