Programming Description
The Additional Qualification (AQ) course, French as a Second Language, Part I, one of the triad of courses on FSL in Ontario, is built upon several foundational principles. These foundations are designed to equip educators with skills and knowledge integral to enhancing learning experiences, improving outcomes, and fostering an inclusive environment in a diverse and dynamic educational landscape. One such foundation is the understanding and application of adult learning theories that foster critical reflection, dialogue, and inquiry. These theories guide the course's structure, allowing educators to delve deeper into teaching, learning, and assessment practices, especially in FSL. Another cornerstone is the Anti-Oppression Foundation. Recognizing that systemic power and privilege have led to various forms of oppression and inequalities, this foundation imbues the ethical and professional responsibility in educators to identify and challenge these barriers. The aim is to support each student's learning, well-being, and inclusion, acknowledging the impact of biases and assumptions on both student and educator learning experiences.Learner Outcomes
