FR 2970 - TEACHING OF FRENCH


Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
Teaching French, Italian, and Spanish supports the concept that instructional expertise is developed in and through practice-based projects, teaching experiences, and the study of the research evidence and theories on additional language learning. The course is designed for language teaching at the university level and is primarily intended for teaching assistants, although part time instructors may enroll in this class for credit. In the course, four major areas associated with contextualized instruction are presented: 1) situations and themes as context, 2) culture as context, 3) academic subject matter as context, and 4) literature as context. All assignments are project-based and include analytical and reflective reports on the students’ own teaching and lesson development projects intended to be used and evaluated in actual foreign language classes. Teaching assistants and instructors in other language are welcome to register for the course but examples are primarily in Spanish, French, Italian, and English.
