Objectives

This subject has as the main goal of promoting the reflection and the systematic revision by the students specifically interested in teaching. It provides the necessary materials for a correct and adequate use of the French language, from a linguistic and semantic point of view. We want to take different registers into account, providing the students easier ways of using oral and written language. It is also important to consider their observations and pedagogical suggestions as a way to apprehend the best didactic uses and the programmatic suggestions of learning French as a foreign language in different teaching levels. This purpose will be progressive, homogenous and will continue in the two semesters of level I and II.
