Teaching French to Children/Ad

Teaching French as a foreign language to children and adolescents with a multilingual perspective
In this course, we will explore the field of foreign language teaching to children and adolescents. By a psycholinguistic approach, we have first to explore the specific aspects of language acquisition in children. Secondly, we will examine the purposes of teaching foreign languages to children and adolescents in multilingual contexts. By this way, we’ll train students to plan and manage class for children at different ages with a multilingual perspective.
The course will be interactive and adapted to the backgrounds and experiences of the students. It will be based on reading scientific texts and on analyzing pedagogical resources for foreign language teaching (FLE textbooks for children and adolescents).
No required texts.
