Lettres françaises et Éducation

Our integrated programs in lettres françaises et éducation cater to the needs of future teachers by meshing instruction in lettres françaises and training in pedagogy. Right away in first year, you learn about core teaching concepts while acquiring a solid grounding in lettres françaises. In addition, your first teaching practicum takes place very early in the program, acquainting you more quickly with the challenges of the teaching profession and allowing you to establish insightful links between your theoretical knowledge in both disciplines and actual practice in the classroom.

To teach in

- elementary schools from junior kindergarten through grade 6 (ages 4 to 12), you have to select the primary/junior divisions;

- elementary schools from grades 4 through 6 (ages 9 to 14 ), you have to select the junior/intermediate divisions; this option also qualifies you to teach grades 4 through 10 (ages 9 to 16);

- secondary schools from grades 9 through 12; ages 14 to 18), you have to select the intermediate/senior divisions; this option also qualifies you to teach grades 7 through 12 (ages 12 to 18).

Please note:
• If you plan to teach secondary school, you also have to take at least 12 credits in a second discipline encompassing a subject you would teach.

• The Faculty of Education administers a French-language proficiency test at the end of the first year, and you must pass this test to remain in the BEd program. If you don't get a passing grade on your first attempt, you can stay in the program provided

o you take the grammar and style courses required to raise your level of proficiency (to that end, you should speak to the chair of the baccalaureate committee at Département de français), and

o you pass the test the following year (you have no more chances afterward).

If you gain admission to one of the integrated programs, you must comply with the regulations of both faculties, that is, Education and Arts.
