FSL is an introductory course that focuses on the practice and theory underpinning French as a Second Language education in today’s classroom. This course provides teachers with fundamental knowledge and skills in French as a Second Language education: Core, Extended and Immersion (including reference to up-to-date curriculum). The underlying purpose of this course is to develop an awareness and understanding of classroom theory and practice in French as a Second Language. It provides teachers with an opportunity to combine their knowledge of the French language and culture with their understanding of child development, especially language development, in order to plan and deliver effective and motivating FSL programs.

This course is not a language course, but a methodology course. This means that your professional knowledge, in this case, French language fluency, is considered préaquis and is not the focus of the course. It will be addressed formally only as it relates to modeling correct use throughout the modules.
