Comment aider les jeunes apprenants à entrer dans l'écrit ?
Presented by Hugues Denisot
FIAF, Tinker Auditorium
$90 per workshop / $80 for FIAF Members (lunch included)

more info

La lecture en langue étrangère ne se limite pas à la capacité de lire à haute voix, au contraire. Il s'agit bien de compréhension écrite. Cela veut dire que le jeune élève devra être capable de manifester sa compréhension d'un texte écrit en agissant sur le texte et/ou en réagissant au texte. Quand aborder la lecture, dans quelles conditions ? Comment se fixer des objectifs à atteindre qui soient réalistes ? Quels sont les exercices et les activités à proposer à nos jeunes élèves ? Les objectifs à long terme ne sont pas à minimiser, rendre l'élève capable de comprendre des écrits en langue étrangère et lui donner le goût de la lecture en langue étrangère.

L'écriture dans un premier temps se limitera à la copie. Mais ensuite, quelle progression faut-il mettre en place ? Que peut-on exiger de nos élèves et dans quelles conditions ? Comment garder leur motivation devant tant de défis ?

Cette journée de formation permettra de répondre aux questions les plus courantes concernant les activités langagières écrites dans le cadre d'un enseignement auprès de jeunes apprenants. La formation alternera les moments de réflexion et les moments d'expérimentation.

Hugues Denisot:
Actuellement Attaché de coopération pour le français près l'Ambassade de France en Belgique / Formateur de formateurs, spécialisés en Ingéniérie de la formation, enseignement auprès des jeunes enfants, théâtre, Art et langage, didactique du FLE (tous publics), Marketing des cours / Expert pour le ministère des affaires étrangères, le Centre International d'Etudes Pédagogiques, la FIPF, l'ASDIFLE, les Alliances françaises; l'Organisation Internationale de la Francophonie / Auteur chez Hachette FLE Tatou le matou et les Mots de Némo avec Muriel Piquet-Viaux, Super Max avec Catherine Macquart Martin

Pour un métalangage commun
Presented by Nicolas Jérôme
FIAF, Le Skyroom
$30 per workshop / $25 for FIAF Members (buffet included)

more info

L'enseignement / apprentissage des langues évolue et la didactique transforme et enrichit le métalangage de ce domaine. Ainsi, le Cadre européen commun de Référence pour les Langues propose et recommande l'utilisation d'une terminologie précise.

L'objectif de cet atelier est de tenter de parvenir à l'adoption, au partage et à l'utilisation d'un métalangage commun afin d'uniformiser dans ses pratiques quotidiennes le vocabulaire technique lié aux langues. L'atelier alternera systématiquement théorie et pratique à travers différentes activités.

About the Program

"Le fait d'être à l'Alliance avec d'autres professeurs de FLE a été un grand plaisir. Depuis 5 ans à NY, c'est la première fois que j'ai l'occasion d'une rencontre comme celle-ci. Merci !"
— Jose Eduardo Vasconcellos Guimaraes

Under the guidance of certified native-speaking educators, current and future French teachers improve their instruction of French to primary students, secondary students, and adults. These affordable workshops offer teachers the opportunity to learn practical strategies, share experiences, and develop specific pedagogical skills that are easily incorporated into existing lesson plans. Using state-of-the-art equipment, participants may experiment with alternative teaching methods that enhance their current programs and speak to their technology-forward students.

In order to improve the quality of the Teachers' Workshop Program, FIAF has created, for the 2011-2012 season, three 6-hour workshops (from 9am to 4pm) which will be led by didactitians recognized in France or other Francophone countries.

The 6-hour workshops will include a lunch from 12 to 1pm, an excellent opportunity to socialize and network with colleagues.

The 3-hour workshops will conclude with an informal wine and cheese gathering.
