FREN 1002 [1.0 credit] (Intensive: 1 section Winter)
French 2
Taught in French for students who have had exposure to French but who have difficulty using it in day-to-day communication. Emphasis on oral expression and comprehension; development of reading and writing skills. Oral practice, oral presentations, interviews, cultural activities, grammar exercises. Lecture: six hours a week.
Multi-section course with common course materials determined by the Coordinator, and team developed exams.
Required Academic Qualifications and Skills: The required minimum qualification is an MA in French or Applied Linguistics. However, a PhD in French or Applied Linguistics will normally count as a superior qualification. For degrees in French, given the nature of our French language program, a degree specialization in language pedagogy or applied linguistics will normally be considered as more relevant to the position than a degree in formal linguistics or literary and/or cultural studies. A desired qualification is experience developing curricular content and assessment tools. Native or near-native fluency and excellent written skills in French are required. Candidates should also possess a strong written and spoken knowledge of English (the working language at Carleton University).
Teaching Competence: Relevant experience in teaching written and oral language at the low intermediate level is required, and preferably, experience teaching in a university setting.
If public health restrictions allow, the planned mode of delivery for this course will be in-person face-to-face lectures. The University may require that all or part of this course be delivered remotely, including online.
Application Procedures and Deadlines:
All applicants must apply to the Department Head in writing and in relation to each course for which they wish to be considered by November 3rd 2021.
