French as a Second Language Part 1
Description: This course is designed to develop awareness and understanding of classroom theory and practice in French as a Second Language. As an introductory course, Part 1 provides participants with a strong foundation and understanding of the vision and underlying philosophy related to FSL. Participants will acquire these basic skills and background knowledge, and be able to apply them as an integrated delivery model in Core French, Extended French, or French Immersion. Teachers will have the opportunity to reflect on their learning, communicate with peers, and apply their learning in practical experiences.
The course is open to all elementary and secondary school teachers who have one of the following qualifications: primary, junior, intermediate, or senior division.
The language of instruction is French. Opportunities for professional reading, reflection, communication, and expression in French are provided. To take this course, participants must complete an online proficiency test (view video clips and respond in French), followed by FSL-embedded tasks.
