Presented by Isabelle Delage-Béland, Assistant Professor of Teaching in French (UBC FHIS)
About the talk:
Dr. Isabelle Delage-Béland will present her TLEF funded project (2024-2026) to redesign and modernize FHIS French grammar courses (FREN 352 and FREN 353). She will be joined by Emmy Issartial, Hannah Marincak, Lily Lou, and Ria Yang. The conversation will be moderated by Dr. Anne Salamon.
The session will aim, among other objectives, to share strategies for making complex and sometimes intimidating concepts more engaging and accessible for a diverse student body. Former students of FREN 352 and FREN 353 will speak about their experience creating learning materials for their peers. Additionally, an innovative assessment model that can be adapted to various teaching contexts will be presented. As such, the session is intended for a broad and diverse audience.
The event will be held in English.
