COURSE DESCRIPTION:

The

objective of the course is to improve the students' written and oral expression

in the French language to a level required for the teaching of subjects in primary

and secondary French Immersion schools.

The course recognizes the students' already advanced knowledge of the French

language. It provides the students with techniques which will enable each one of

them to become aware and identify their own mistakes and inaccuracies in their use

of the French language. It proposes individual strategy developments to rectify

these weaknesses.

Emphasis will be placed on the development of new techniques addressed to specific

individual problems, and will focus on the acquisition of new linguistic skills.

The course will draw from the students' real life teaching experience in a classroom.

Grammatical review is an important component of the theoretical content of the

course.

COURSE MATERIAL:

No specific textbooks will be required.

Hand-out material will be provided in class.

Textbooks and Grammar books for reference will be discussed in class.

Students will also need a French-English, English-French dictionary (pocket editions

of Harraps or Larousse are adequate).
