SSHRC IDG awarded 2024:The integration of language, literacy, and content teaching is a complex task that demands specific knowledge and skills. Therefore, it requires well-adapted preparation as early as possible in teachers' professional development. The proposed project aims to provide pre-service teachers (i.e., student teachers) with the skills to plan lessons using an integrated approach to facilitate the concurrent teaching of language skills and content knowledge. Teacher educators specialized in a given school subject, will work together to revisit their didactic courses to help the student teachers 1) understand the importance of language and literacy in the specific disciplinary context, and 2) plan well-integrated lessons where concepts are taught along with the language and literacy skills needed to complete associated activities. More specifically, this project will attempt to answer the following questions: - To what extent has the instruction they received enabled the student teachers to deepen their understanding of the key concepts at the heart of the integrated approach? - To what extent has the instruction they received enabled the student teachers to implement the integrated approach while planning lessons in different subjects?
