Abstract

Bu çalışma, dört tam günlük mesleki gelişim oturumunun, ikinci dil olarak Fransızca öğretmenlerinin, öğrencilerinin okuma gelişimini destekleyecek stratejileri kullanma konusundaki özgüvenleri üzerindeki etkisini incelemektedir. Okuma biliminin yeni İngilizce müfredatının gelişimini etkileyen bir odak konusu haline geldiği Ontario, Kanada'da yer alan bu çalışmada ikinci dil olarak Fransızca öğretmenleri, mesleki gelişimleri için böyle bir odaklanma talep etmiştir. Öğretmenler, okuma bilimine ve diller arası aktarıma odaklanan bir ön ve son anketi tamamladılar. Ayrıca mesleki gelişim sonrası yarı yapılandırılmış görüşmelere de katıldılar. Sonuçlar öğretmenlerin, öğrencilerinin okuma gelişimini destekleme ve özellikle okuma bilimi yaklaşımlarını kullanma konusunda güven kazandıklarını gösterdi.

Professional Development to Support French as a Second Language Teachers: Preparation to Advance Students’ Reading Skills

Abstract

This study examines the impact of four full-day professional development sessions on French as a second language teachers’ confidence to use strategies to support their students’ reading development. Situated in Ontario, Canada where the science of reading has become a topic of focus influencing the development of new English language curriculum, the French as a second language teachers in this study requested such a focus for their professional development. The teachers completed a pre- and post-questionnaire that included a focus on the science of reading and transfer between languages. They also participated in post-professional development semi-structured interviews. The results showed that teachers gained confidence in supporting their students’ reading development and in particular using science of reading approaches.
