FFS 290 - Community-Engaged Learning

Semester Offered: Spring
0.5 unit(s)

As a form of community-engaged learning, students work either in pairs or alone to offer lessons or animation involving French language and culture at a school or other local site. Grades usually range from kindergarten to middle school. 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 on 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. The course is special permission because students who register for it must obtain a form from the Office of Community-Engaged Learning. Kathleen Hart.
