FR3024Learning French Through Teaching (O)3 ch (EL 3C)

Improve French writing skills by learning and reflecting on common errors in an experiential manner. Teaching requires that you reposition yourself as a learner and think about the revising and editing process in a new way. Identify common mistakes in texts written by others and see them as valuable information about which aspects of the language they need to review. Deepen your understanding of the French language by working with your peers in class and during tutoring sessions. Learn to understand your own mistakes and how to remedy them in a judgment-free environment. Create, by the end of the course, a portfolio of knowledge and tools to support the continuing development of your French writing skills.  

Prerequisites: Two second-year French courses (6 ch) or permission of instructor.
