Didactique du français langue étrangère

 

Ce module sur la didactique du français langue étrangère vise à fournir aux étudiants des notions qui leur permettront d’enseigner le français de manière efficace au niveau secondaire dans un contexte multilingue. En effet, étant donné que le statut du français est passé de langue officielle à langue étrangère, il doit désormais être enseigné au niveau secondaire en utilisant des méthodes appropriées, différentes de celles employées pour l’enseignement d’une langue maternelle ou d’une langue seconde.

ENGLISH LITERACY SKILLS DEVELOPMENT

Brief description of aims and content

 The main aim of the module is to support students’ usage of the language as well as giving comprehensive information about the language; providing ample guidance and practice in sentence building, correct usage of varied vocabulary and structures and comprehension of written composition. This will equip the student with the ability to communicate effectively in English. The other target is availing students a chance to demonstrate evidence of their understanding of the content learnt and capability to proficiently use it rather than their ability to remember multitudes of information. This module also provides analytical knowledge and practical skills in relation to life by evaluating the student’s ability to effectively use the learned listening, speaking, reading and writing skills in varied environments.
