An examination of major theories of Second Language acquisition that have had an impact on
and continue to shape the field of French language pedagogy. Emphasis on the application of
contemporary approaches to curriculum development and on education for diverse students.

In accordance with the Ontario College of Teachers, the following Standards of
Practice will be integrated in the learning outcomes of this French as a second
language methodology course:

   1. Commitment to Students and Student Learning is exemplified in issues and case
      studies discussed by student teachers as they consider factors such as student
      cognitive ability, first language competency, learner profiles, positive reinforcement,
      and parental and community support as variables that lead to student success in FSL
      programs in elementary and secondary schools.

   2. Professional Knowledge is informed by provincial and federal language laws, rights
      and values; the organizational and policy decisions related to school settings of FSL
      programs; and the current practices and approaches for second language instruction.
      Student teachers explore teaching concepts for bilingual education and strategies for
      teaching/learning and assessment. Students explore the integration of current first
      language teaching practices in FSL environments.

   3. Professional Practice. Students explore the effects of second language learner
      characteristics, self-esteem, fear, and exceptionalities in a variety of FSL settings (split
      grade, Immersion, Extended, and Core). Students consider the role that the eclectic-
      communicative approach plays in shaping student success in the FSL classroom.

                                                                                                           1
                                         Second Language Acquisition: Curriculum & Pedagogy (I/S) & EDUC5462
Students will reflect upon effective strategies for successful error correction, meeting
      the learning needs of students, and how to create environments that will foster life-
      long language learning, effective FSL teacher practice that is committed to
      promoting achievable learning outcomes and balanced and on-going assessment
      strategies in a supportive second language learning environment.

  4. Leadership in Learning Communities. Students will consider the importance of
     learning a second language in the global community and in the workplace. They will
     engage in effective language modelling strategies in French and in group work
     activities in the second language. The practicum school assignments will also
     demonstrate the importance of communication between the diverse and creative
     abilities of the partners in the educational community: peers, associate colleagues,
     and members of the community.

  5. Ongoing Professional Learning. Students will be encouraged to further their
     personal linguistic competencies through grammar review and tests. They will
     become familiar with resources available to modern language teachers through
     teacher exchanges, provincial and national association conferences and web sites, and
     on-line learning communities.

Learning Outcomes:

    middle & late French immersion; extended French; intensive French, etc.)

   Be able to design French lessons for a variety of programs (Core French, early, middle & late
    French immersion; extended French; intensive French, etc.)
   Understand the rationale behind the new FSL curriculum, & plan units & design lessons
    accordingly

  observance, your absence is excused; you will not be penalized but you are responsible for work missed.
  UNEXCUSED ABSENCES: Any absence that is not a result of illness, bereavement, or religious

must report to the Teacher Education Office) or extreme compassionate circumstances. Unexcused late
assignments will be penalized at a rate of 5 % per day, and will not be accepted more than 5 days after the due
date unless prior arrangements have been made with the instructor.

further information, consult your instructors, the Associate Dean’s Office, and current style manuals. Advice
about plagiarism and how to avoid it can also be found here:

   detection software under license to the University for the detection of plagiarism. All papers submitted for
   such checking will be included as source documents in the reference database for the purpose of detecting
   plagiarism of papers subsequently submitted to the system. Use of the service is subject to the licensing
