"My future
plans/goals using my love of everything French are to help revive
the core French programmes we currently
have in BC elementary schools." "I thought
if I was an elementary school teacher I’d love to be able to teach
French. But since I did not go beyond French 12, I never thought it
would be possible to learn to teach French unless I spent years immersing
myself in French culture before applying to the Education program. So
when I saw the FLAGS program, I thought it was perfect for me. People
who have basic French and a passion for the language can learn to teach
Core French." |
“I used what I learned in LLED 324 [FLAGS’s key methodology course] during my practicum. It was great! The kids loved it and picked up the language. I actually spoke French myself! Without this course, I wouldn’t have applied for, much less succeeded in getting, this job!” (Rob Tardif, BEd, UBC, 2006, now a core French teacher) "We get the opportunity to work with other candidates who are at varying levels of French. We get to learn more about French as well as how to teach it without being completely fluent. FLAGS is very empowering for me and probably for others as well. FLAGS has thus far enabled me to feel confident in my own French and in going out into the field to teach it." (Linda Pham, FLAGS cohort, 2008) |
