FRENCH DEPARTMENT

The Department of French was created in 1998 to provide credit courses in French as a Second Language for School of Business and Management Administration and School
of Theology and Missions. The Department has undergone many changes over the years, but 2005 marked the beginning of an accelerated evolution. Successive Presidents and Deans of Central University College have all underlined the Department productivity and dynamism and, accordingly, have given their support to the gradual and ongoing expansion of its original mission.

PRESENTLY, THE MISSION OF THE DEPARTMENT IS TO:

1. provide French language courses of a superior quality to students registered in undergraduate or graduate programmes at Central University College, and to help them
develop the linguistic skills, the cultural awareness,and the communicative competence appropriate to the values and academic standards of the university.
2. administer the Multimedia Language Laboratory by seeing to the academic needs of the language lab users and collaborating with IT Department for technological support;
through the Lab. The Department is promoting high quality assisted language teaching and learning of French language.
3. play a key role in the development of pedagogical practices, traditional and technology assisted, and to ensure the university's reputation for excellence in the field of applied
linguistics.
4. organize and provide training and supervision of Teaching Assistants with teaching responsibilities, and course lecturers, and to assist in the professional development of
the language teaching faculty.
It is worth noting that the French Department has developed a research agenda in the areas of Second Language Teaching and Learning at the university level.
