Concepts de base en didactique des langues : l’apprenant, la langue, l’enseignant / Basic Concepts in Language Pedagogy: the Learner, the Language, the Teacher

This course is targeted at professors or future professors of FSL who wish to integrate an analytical reflection into their classroom practices. An exploration of FSL theories will alternate with a reflection on methods and methodologies, class practices and pedagogical strategies, all aimed at developing students’ autonomy. Key linguistic, communicative, and cultural concepts applied to language, as well as specific suggestions to organize a course centered on learning contracts, will provide a basis for discussion and development of pedagogical practices specific to teaching French as a foreign language.
