Learning unit contents

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.

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.

Learning outcomes of the learning unit

  • master and adequately use the terminology and concepts relating to immigration and to the teaching FSL
  • identify and relativize stereotypes
  • develop activities according to the pedagogy of the project, and an action-oriented and intercultural approach
