Petite Pratique pour les Missionnaires
The following content is a prototype of micro lessons designed to showcase my skills in building language acquisition learning content in an online or blended modality. These brief lessons are targeted towards novice to intermediate learners who are currently living in a language-immersed environment. The lessons are task-based, and are intended to be part of a self-structured learning plan. As such, reflection and self-evaluation exercises are embedded throughout the lessons.
