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. |
