  • Jun 18, 2010 from 1:30pm to 3:00pm
  • Location: Florence Gould Hall at French Institute Alliance Française (FIAF)
  • Description: Presenter: Guitty Roustaï, Youth Program Director at FIAFLa définition d’un apprentissage reste une notion quelquefois floue pour les enseignants alors même qu’il est indispensable de la cerner au mieux afin de mettre en place un enseignement cohérent et véritablement efficace. Le savoir “quoi enseigner” permet aux enfants de structure au mieux les connaissances nouvelles et détermine le savoir « comment enseigner », c’est-à-dire la situation d’apprentissage qu’il est important de maîtriser. Tout au long de cet atelier, les participants reviendront sur ces deux notions essentielles grâce à diverses activités qui permettront de remettre à plat les principales théories sous-jacentes et analyseront ensuite de manière critique diverses objectifs et situations d’apprentissages afin de mieux évaluer et ajuster les leurs.Promoting French in schools: how to use the French Language Advocacy Kit developed by the American Association of Teachers of French, the Northwestern University, the Embassy
