This course introduces the instructional and assessment strategies that are effective in promoting the learning of a second language by elementary students. The course has two main goals. Goal one acquaints education students with the teaching techniques, procedures, and instructional resources used to teach second languages to children, focusing on English, French, and First Nations languages. Teachers interested in teaching other languages will be encouraged to adapt strategies to their own specific language. Goal two provides education students an opportunity to develop and practice using teaching and assessment resources for teaching a second language with a focus on French. These activities will provide an opportunity to develop some basic fluency in French. Students preparing to teach other languages will learn to adapt assignments to their language of study.
Prerequisites: Successful completion of all Year 1.
