Learning unit contents

The course covers various aspects of the didactics of culture in the FLE classroom: from discussions of relativism and culture shock, to various aspects of Belgian culture (humor, Belgian identity through literature, comics and cinema, the French-speaking world, etc.), to play and theatrical activities in the FLE classroom.

Over the course of the sessions, the course will focus on the conditions and issues involved in "didactizing" culture in the FLE classroom, and then, within the framework of thematic sequences, deal with very concrete approaches to Belgian culture, particularly French-speaking culture.
