---

Le cours vise, par le biais de l’examen critique de l’enseignement dit du « français de base » (Core French IRP (5- 12)), à poser et établir des repères à la fois historiques, théoriques, linguistiques et didactiques de l’enseignement des langues secondes. Par le biais d’activités de classe, ainsi que de lectures retraçant l’évolution de la recherche dans le champ et des pratiques enseignantes, mais également en prenant appui sur l’expérience des étudiants, le cours souhaite revenir de façon critique sur les différentes théories qui sous-tendent l’enseignement/apprentissage des langues et permettre ainsi un retour sur les stratégies d’enseignement/apprentissage qui peuvent être appliquées à l’enseignement du français langue seconde.

Note: For Summer 2019, EDUC 480 (Elementary) is a combined section class with EDUC 481 (Designs for Learning: French Immersion Programs and Francophone Schools (Elementary)).

Registrar Notes:

SFU’s Academic Integrity web site http://www.sfu.ca/students/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
