Finding the Right Balance between Control and Autonomy in the Teaching of English as a Foreign Language in French High Schools
Journal Title: Studii şi cercetări filologice - Seria Limbi Străine Aplicate - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue
Abstract
Teachers of foreign languages in French state schools used to enjoy relative autonomy in both their choice of content and teaching practices. The curricula imposed broad guidelines, yet they were not as constraining or rigid as those of other countries, for instance, the National Curriculum system in the United Kingdom. However, since the introduction of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages and the most recent reforms concerning the baccalauréat, most teachers feel they are losing control. This paper examines the changes in modern language teaching in French high schools and the effects these changes have had on the staff involved.
