Professional practices : Theoretical & Practical considerations Classroom observations,
teaching; report submission
This course aims to help students reflect on classroom practices and the process of
teaching/learning French. . Practical stand points and their theoretical base will be examined, in
order to guide students to think about the role of teachers and of teaching. In the process, they
will revisit their own perceptions on teaching/learning. This course will include classroom
observations followed by teaching units prepared and presented by the students. Students will be
required to submit a report based on their experience. This reflective methodology is important
not just for future teachers but for all learners of a foreign language in order to understand their
learning process and make meaning of it.
