Objectives

French II is a follow-up to French I.
The main aims are: 

1. to enable students to identify their needs and gaps in order to perfect their command of the French language


2. to further reflect on the teaching of French as a Foreign Langugage (FFL) based on concrete teaching experiences and the shared experiences of obstacles encountered and strategies implemented to overcome them

Learning outcomes and competences

By the end of the semester students will have developed the five communication skills defined by the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages in order to meet the required level of competence in this language, as well as their critical thinking skills in relation to theories and materials produced in the field of FFL teaching.

Working method

Presencial

Pre-requirements (prior knowledge) and co-requirements (common knowledge)

Students must be enrolled in Iniciação à Prática Profissional involving an internship and master the Francês C2.1 and Francês I programme of this master.

Program

1. Development of a personal learning programme to improve mastery of the French language. 


2. Development of the linguistic skills needed to teach FFL. 


3. Exploitation of authentic documents from the FFL teaching domain and analysis of this exploitation. 


4. Research into one or more aspects of the didactics of FFL and their practical application in the classroom.

Teaching methods and learning activities

The teaching method is based on learning autonomy, individualised follow-up and reverse pedagogy. Research work is carried out at home or at the placement site, and sharing results, analysis, presentations and discussions take place in class. The approach is interactive and based on tasks to be completed individually or in groups. The professional practice analysis method will also be used.
