REFLECTIVE INQUIRY PROJECT (due on or before March 1st)

Using the Language Portfolio as a point de départ, reflect on your journey to date as a language learner and, more specifically, the impact of your experience in the FLAGS program. You will consider the course’s guiding principles, informed by Wilga Rivers (1994), and reflect on/share those that have been most instrumental in your learning journey and why. Please provide background as to why you chose this cohort rather than others, your experiences with French and what you hope/d to achieve. You will reflect on the experience thus far, for example, the summer immersion period, starting up at UBC, coursework, conversation class, practicum, et cetera; and you will consider the pros and cons of the program. THREE PAGES.
