Symposium Improving Practice

S3 - Supporting Instructors Teaching en Français in Multi-Level Classrooms

June 04, 2024 | 2:45 - 4:00 PM Room: H-420

In this Q&A session, participants are invited to discuss best-practice strategies and pedagogical concerns related to the multilingual environment created by the new requirements set by Law 14. In addition to teaching in French themselves, teachers will have to interact with heterogenous groups of students who have varying levels of French proficiency. This session will allow teachers embarking on this new pedagogical journey to ask questions, share strategies, and reflect on how principles of active learning and Universal Design for Learning can make teaching in French a meaningful experience for both their students and themselves.
