FFS 290 - Community-Engaged Learning

Semester Offered: Fall and Spring
0.5 unit(s)

As a form of community-engaged learning, students work either in pairs or alone to offer weekly 45-minute lessons in French to the pupils of a local private school. Grades range from kindergarten to fourth grade. Lessons involve simple vocabulary, songs, games, and imparting geographical or cultural information. Under the supervision of the faculty coordinator, students invent weekly lesson plans, reflect upon their experience in weekly blog posts or journals written in French, and write a final paper in French. Students also meet periodically with the faculty coordinator to discuss their experiences. Kathleen Hart.
