What Lancers Are Saying

The placements I had over the duration of my time at the University of Windsor allowed me to apply theoretical knowledge to various classroom settings. I had the opportunity to work closely with experienced teachers and advisors in order to hone my skills, develop a greater understanding of classroom dynamics and build meaningful connections. The French Studies / Concurrent Education program gave me numerous opportunities for placements in different schools and grade levels so as to better prepare me for the field of education.

French Studies / Concurrent Education, 2015

In addition to strengthening my proficiency in French and preparing me for a teaching career in French as a first language, my undergraduate studies at the University of Windsor developed my critical and analytical skills, helped me gain an appreciation for international francophone culture and literature, and fostered an openness to the world. Classes led in an intimate setting by personable and knowledgeable faculty made my experience unforgettable, nurturing in me a desire to remain a lifelong learner.

Enrolling in the French Studies program was one of the best decisions I've made..... I not only learned the roots of the language but also gained a deeper appreciation for French culture.
