Master Didactique Des Langues — Français langue étrangère/seconde

For Master Didactique Des Langues — Français langue étrangère/seconde, tuition fees are 250 EUR per year.

Teaching a language to speakers of other languages requires understanding both how languages are structured and how people acquire them, which is the core concern of language didactics. The Master Didactique Des Langues — Français langue étrangère/seconde, offered at Université d'Angers, focuses this field on French as a foreign or second language, preparing students to teach French to learners who did not grow up speaking it. Programs in this area typically cover theories of language acquisition, methods for teaching grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation to non-native speakers, approaches to designing courses and teaching materials, and techniques for evaluating language proficiency at different levels. Students also generally engage with the cultural and institutional context of French language teaching, including how French is taught in different countries and educational systems. Career paths linked to this specialization commonly include teaching positions in language schools, universities and cultural institutions in France and abroad, along with roles in curriculum design, teacher training and the development of language learning materials. Delivered at Université d'Angers in Angers, France, this master's degree is taught in French over two years, starting in September, with a yearly tuition of 250 EUR. Students entering this program generally hold an undergraduate degree in French studies, linguistics, foreign languages or education, since the specialization assumes a working knowledge of language structure and some familiarity with teaching or language-learning contexts. Because the program combines linguistic theory with classroom-oriented training, an interest in both the analytical study of language and the practical work of designing lessons and supporting learners is useful preparation for the two years of coursework and teaching practice involved.
