EDUC 483J: Designs for Teaching French as a Second Language (FSL)
This three-credit course prepares teacher candidates for teaching K-12 French as a Second Language (FSL) in BC. These programs include Core French, Extended French (5-12), and French Immersion (K-12). Candidates will deepen their understanding of second language acquisition and learning theories; explore innovative, inclusive, and decolonized approaches for teaching FSL; and develop the skills and confidence to design and teach French Immersion and Core French lessons that are engaging, relevant, and joyful.
Candidates who register in the 483J course should have an independent/intermediate level of French proficiency (equivalent to DELF B1). This course is a requirement for any teacher candidates who would like to complete their certifying practicum in a K-12 French Immersion or secondary Core French classroom.
