This is a double degree Mestrado em Letras, Area de concentração estudos linguísticos at Universidade Federal do Paraná and Master Didactique des Langues, French as a Foreign and Second Language course or Didactics of languages and digital pedagogical engineering course atUniversité Grenoble Alpes. Degrees are offered in French and Portuguese (Brazil).

This double degree is the result of collaboration between teams of researchers in language didactics at the two partner universities. On the one hand, it aims to train professionals in the teaching of French as a foreign language. by offering them international experience and thus greater employability, and to consolidate the cooperation of teacher-researchers. This cooperation has already produced concrete results, including the transfer of UFPR's model for welcoming and training migrant students to UGA, and the mobilization of lecturers to take part in conferences and speak to students and lecturers.
Since 2015, 14 students, 6 Brazilian and 8 French, have graduated through this program. This program does not aim to form large cohorts, notably because of the supervision provided to French students at the University of Curitiba (tutored training in taking charge of FLE classes).

Students in this double degree program spend the first year of their Master's degree at Grenoble (Brazilians as well as French), and the second year at Curitiba. At the end of the Master's program, students obtain both diplomas, enabling them to broaden their qualifications and facilitate their professional integration. The professionalizationwhich is a key feature of the DDL Master's program, is particularly evident in this double degree.
During their first year in Grenoble, both French and Brazilian students have the opportunity to get involved in FLE conversation workshops with CUEF students. They can also teach FLE in an associative environment, a commitment that is recognized by ECTS credits. During their second year in Curitiba, French students teach FLE at the University of Curitiba's language center (CELIN), under the supervision of a tutor. These teaching experiences, in different cultural and academic contexts, are a real plus for this double degree.

French as a foreign and second language in Curitiba (Brazil)

The main aim of the Master's degree in Didactics of Languages in French as a Foreign and Second Language is to train teachers of French for non-French speakers, both children and adults, in a variety of contexts, in France and abroad. It trains not only for teaching, but also for research and pedagogical and training engineering (design of materials and systems), in particular in specialist areas covered by several teacher-researchers, such as digital technology for language teaching and learning, plurilingualism, evaluation, acting as a teacher, French for specific purposes and French for university purposes.

Job opportunities

• Teaching FLE abroad: FLE teacher for non-French speakers studying or living outside France (primary and secondary education, bilingual lycées, university French departments, Alliances Françaises, Instituts Français, etc.).
