This focus trains students in the theory and practice of teaching French as a foreign language; it is aimed principally at students of the Master's in Modern Languages and Literatures: General who, as part of their Bachelor's programme, chose French either as their major Romance language or as a minor language (by opting for the Minor in French Studies).

This professional focus does not lead to a Teacher Training Certificate (upper secondary education) (AESS). However, students who combine it with the teaching focus (30 credits in one year), at the end of this 120-credit Master's degree, are allowed to teach French as a foreign and second language as partly qualified (titre suffisant) but not fully qualified (titre requis) teachers.
