| Main themes |
The course addresses several themes which can be summarized through the following questions:
- What are the linguistic skills in French necessary to the academic and social success?
- What are the linguistic skills effectively taught in the French-teaching institutions?
- What are the factors which contribute to the mastering of these skills?
- What procedures (in terms of knowledge explanation and acquisition, assessment, etc.) are put into place by the teachers and with what results depending on the students' profiles?
- What is the knowledge brought by linguistic research about these skills?
- How can this knowledge be put at the service of French teaching, notably to improve the existing teaching methods?
|
| Aims |
The course aims at approaching the diverse linguistic questions related to the teaching of French (in its various forms, with a special attention to the teaching of French as a first language at the secondary school).
Three specific objectives are to be reached:
- Discovering the stakes involved in the mastering of French as a school language and the factors which favor or not this mastering.
- thinking about the way linguistic analyses can help with the learning and mastering of French in the school context.
- Bringing the students to think critically about the ways to develop adequately sensitivity to language problems in the secondary school.
|
| Content |
In relation with its objectives, the course follows these steps:
- reading of scientific works allowing the students to understand the stakes of language learning and the implicit/explicit expectations of school and society in terms of language skills;
- analysis of actual linguistic practices of teachers and students in French-language classes, in a way to identify linguistic problems linked to the teaching of French;
- reflection about procedures to be implemented in a way to improve the teaching of French and the students' linguistic skills thanks to the knowledge of linguistics;
- "experimental" implementation and assessment of the procedures worked out by the students.
