This degree meets two distinct, but complementary, objectives, by offering in-depth training addressing either French-speaking communities or the teaching of French as a foreign language (FLE) or second language (FLS).

Our cultural and linguistic experience varies depending on whether we speak French in Namur, Québec, Lyon or Cotonou. The approximately 170 million francophones, spread cross five continents, are the people who make up la francophonie or, better still, les francophonies. This course offers the student the chance to tackle this new subject matter from an interdisciplinary point of view, by focusing on linguistic and literary approaches as well as examining political and institutional issues.

The second aspect of the course is geared towards the student gaining knowledge in concepts, operations or strategies, teaching means and focuses which are vital when building up the teaching skills needed for FLE/S. Its stresses the importance of the culture of those whom the teacher will be teaching. Theory courses are alternated with more practical vocational courses, as well as internships in language schools.

The programme does not lead to the student obtaining the 'Agrégation de l’enseignement secondaire supérieur' (AESS). However, combined with the AESS (langues et littératures françaises et romanes), this master authorises students to teach French as a foreign and second language (with the title 'suffisant' but not 'requis').

The programme is made up of :
 ♦ core courses (75 credits), made up of :
- 28 dissertation credits and 2 credits for the accompanying seminar;
- 35 credits in shared courses;
- 10 credits in one of the two programmes of study offered (French as a foreign language or 'Francophonies');
 ♦ a research focus (30 credits) as a continuation of the programme of study 'Francophonies' or a professional focus (30 credits) in teaching French as a foreign language;
 ♦ and one option or optional course (15 credits).

Other accessible masters :
At the end of the master 120, each focus in the Master in French and Romance Languages and Literatures : French as a Second Language, can be obtained in a new year of 30 credits only.

Teacher Training Certificate (upper secondary education) :
The programme of the Teacher Training Certificate (upper secondary education) - French and Romance Languages and Literatures [30.0] is only directly accessible to students who hold a Master in French and Romance Languages and Literatures : General.

Additional training (to be defined depending on the student's curriculum) is indispensable for the holder of the Master in French and Romance Languages and Literatures : French as a Second Language.

Accessible doctoral training :
- 'École doctorale en Langues et lettres';
- 'École doctorale thématique en didactique du français, des langues, des littératures et des cultures'.

1° Student must hold a first level university degree.

2° Student must have developed the following skills in his previous training:
- complete grasp of the written and oral practices of the French language;
- literary and linguistic analytical skills;
- knowledge about the history of French literature and Francophone literature;

at the end of a 1st level programme including at least 30 credits in general training and the following specific 61 credits:
- Histoire de la littérature française (12 credits);
- Littérature comparée (8 credits);
- Analyse littéraire et explication de textes (18 credits);
- Littérature belge (3 credits);
- Grammaire et linguistique synchronique du français et pratique du français (20 credits).

If student does not have sufficient training in one or several of these subjects, prerequisites will be added to the masters programme (maximum 15 credits).

If the total number of prerequisites exceeds 15 credits, access to the master is subject to the student passing the Année d'études préparatoire au master en langues et littératures françaises et romanes (toutes orientations) [60.0] (preparatory year of study) the programme of which is established based on the student's file.

Course equivalences are submitted for approval to the chairman of the jury, the secretary of the jury and the academic faculty secretary.

The link between theoretical and practical aspects: the student prepares for a career by acquiring the intellectual tools which will help him carry out this job with aplomb; individual and group work help to make the course more stimulating. At the same time, under the expert guidance of teachers in this sector, the student carries out internships helping him get to know his strong points and weaknesses and remedy the latter.

Several universities are taking part in the master, which helps promote teacher and student mobility, course exchanges (via e-learning, video conferences, etc) and the exchange of experiences.

Students are assessed in a variety of ways: through their work and/or oral and written exams (internship reports, seminars, etc.).

Courses are evaluated according to current university regulations (see General Examination Regulations). Students may find further information on specific evaluation methods in the course descriptions.

The aim of mobility and international links was a guiding force in the creation of this master. A number of specific partners have been identified who may use a basic programme in constructing bilateral programmes.

The programme is also assisted by the Réseau International D’Etudes des Francophonies (International Network of Francophone Studies) RIEF which encourages exchanges between different partners in addition to bilateral collaborations.

The partners in 2009-2010 are:

• le Vietnam : Université de Hanoï;
• la Bulgarie : Université Saint Clément d’Okhrid de Sofia.
