RATIONALE
This course is intended for teachers or
,
future teachers of French as a second
language at the Elementary and Secondary levels. The course derives from the specifi
approach required from teachers - whatever the level they are teaching at - when dealing
with the contents of a course in French as a second
i
a1uje There is need for a cours€
within a pedagogical frame as opposed to courses1
j
h French language per se.
Given the fact that many
of
our students choose a teaching career, French 303 could
thus be part of a major program and count for 3 credits towards this end. French 303
will therefore focus on the what"

FRENCH FOR THE CLASSROOM
COURSE OUTLINE
This course will stress the contents inherent to any course in French as a
second language. It will aim at giving the French teacher a mastery of the funda-
mentals necessary to be knowledgeable about the French language and culture, and
at enabling her or him to transfer this knowledge to what will be taught in the
classroom.
The major components will focus on French vocabulary, sounds, structures and
cultural aspects with emphasis on the distinct characteristics of written and spoken
usage, and with a view to possible implications for listening, speaking, reading,
writing and communicative skills as well as for the setting-up of exercises. The
perspective of the course will essentially be that of French for pedagogic purposes.
S
GOALS
This course should enable the participants to familiarize themselves with the
problems linked to the phonological, lexical, grammatical and cultural aspects of a
course in French as a second language.
