BSc Education-French
The overall goal of the programme is to produce professional French teachers capable of using modern language teaching techniques in the classroom (task-based teaching and learning techniques, use of new technologies in education, project-based pedagogy, etc.). Teachers are not trained to develop only the basic language skills (listening, speaking, reading and writing) of their learners, but should be able to help their learners develop language competences by using appropriate speech acts in different communication situations. This programme is carefully tailored to equip students with both oral and written aspects of French language. The French language is the medium in which the French programme is to be taught while the teaching of other courses shall be in English.
The programme meets a wide range of linguistic abilities and is intended to help student-teachers achieve a variety of communication skills. The language aspect aims at broadening students’ knowledge in lexical and grammatical structures in oral and written expression. French literature helps students to study French culture and civilization as well as language usage and structure.
