Bridging Research and Practice in FSL

Abstract

This resource collection supports bridging the gap between research and practice in French as a Second Language (FSL) education through the creation of accessible, engaging knowledge products. Designed for both educators and researchers, the guides offer practical steps and inspiration for transforming insights into podcasts, videos, lesson plans, blogs, and more. The resource emphasizes collaboration, accessibility, and relevance, and showcases successful FSL initiatives and examples from individuals and organizations. It includes strategies for content creation, audience engagement, and dissemination, making research-informed practice more attainable and impactful in FSL classrooms.The final versions of these resources reflect input from a series of focus groups and surveys held in 2023 and 2024. Credit for these valuable contributions can be found in the guide. This project was funded by the Ontario Ministry of Education and Heritage Canada, through the Camerise project.
