Main themes

The thesis project is an opportunity for students to develop a concrete educational project related to teaching French as a foreign language. This project can take various forms:

• designing a French as a foreign language course for specific purposes (professional, academic, etc.), including a needs analysis; 
• development of an innovative teaching resource (textbook, teaching sequence, digital tool, etc.); 
• development of a digital platform, application, or online course, incorporating generative AI, for example; 
• development of a system for assessing French skills;
• design of a training program for FLE teachers; 
• any other project related to educational coordination, material design, or training in French. 

The thesis-project may be part of an internship at a French teaching institution, allowing for immersion in a specific educational setting.
 

Learning outcomes

At the end of this learning unit, the student is able to :
1	analyze the general and specific needs of a group of learners or an institution teaching French as a foreign language;
2	design a realistic, coherent teaching plan based on current approaches to language teaching;
3	apply the knowledge, skills, and methodologies studied in the master's program to address a real-world issue;
4	critically reflect on the pedagogical choices made and articulate them with the scientific literature;
5	present a professional deliverable (course, resource, program) or a reflective internship report;
6	critically evaluate a pedagogical context and their own contribution to the project.
