Description

CALENDAR DESCRIPTION:

Intended for students who would like to gain insight into teaching French as a second language while improving their knowledge of the French language and of the associated culture in a classroom context. The language of instruction will be French.

COURSE DETAILS:

CAUTION
This course is primarily for students enrolled in the French Module of the PFP. It is also open to teachers who wants to improve their language and pedagogical skills. The course is given in French.

DESCRIPTION
The aim of the race is to give teachers the opportunity to learn. Based on observations of class sequences, readings and group discussions, we favor to: (1) facilitate reflection on teaching strategies, (2) expand the methodological repertory of future teachers, (3) allow to their professional French, especially in oral.

TOPICS OF THE COURSE
The course is organized around general themes taught by the teacher. These will be processed from various documents, oral and written. In order to respect the initial vocational training dimension of the students, they will be asked to take part in the study of the subject. The teacher reserves the right to modify the topic of the race.

Registrar Notes:

SFU’s Academic Integrity web site http://students.sfu.ca/academicintegrity.html is filled with information on what is meant by academic dishonesty, where you can find resources to help with your studies and the consequences of cheating.  Check out the site for more information and videos that help explain the issues in plain English.

Each student is responsible for his or her conduct as it affects the University community.  Academic dishonesty, in whatever form, is ultimately destructive of the values of the University. Furthermore, it is unfair and discouraging to the majority of students who pursue their studies honestly. Scholarly integrity is required of all members of the University. http://www.sfu.ca/policies/gazette/student/s10-01.html
