Description:
This course provides an analysis of the theories, research findings and instructional practices in foreign and second language learning, with practical illustrations in the areas of French as a second language. Students will learn how language-teaching methods have evolved since the1960s.
A variety of teaching approaches (behaviorist, audio-visual, communicative, cognitive, etc.) will be examined with reference to theoretical issues and historical background. Special emphasis will be placed on the teaching of specific skills (reading, writing, listening, speaking), culture, the integration of technology, and on the roles of the teacher and the learner in the classroom.
