Resource Library

This is a growing, curated collection of open and free professional development resources for FSL educators, collated using the Zotero platform. Users can search and sort the database using the platform's functionalities such as tags and themed folders. This collection can be used as a self-directed resource or during group professional development sessions whereby educators have the flexibility to personalize their own learning.

This glossary offers explanations and definitions rooted in classroom practice, in the Ontario FSL curriculum as well as in the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (2001). This work is unique in that the goal is to provide detailed definitions so that teachers and teacher candidates can make clear connections between the theoretical influences of the CEFR on the Ontario FSL curriculum and their teaching practices. This glossary aims to be more meaningful and intentional in the practical element for beginning teachers however, it is applicable to anyone.
