The Department of Modern Languages, Literatures and Cultures and the Faculty of Education co-operate in offering a concurrent five-year program combining an (honours) BA degree with a BEd for students interested in teaching at the Intermediate/Senior level (grades 7-12/OAC). It will include a year of study in a French-speaking environment as approved by the department.

Students in the program must be registered full-time and follow the prescribed program. Any exceptions must have the approval of the Co-ordinator.

Application forms for the French Teaching Specialization BA (Honours)/BEd program are available from the Modern Languages, Literatures and Cultures office from April 1. The forms must be completed and returned to the office by June 1. Late applications will not be accepted. Students in the French Teaching Specialization BA (Honours)/BEd program should consult the French Teaching Specialization Co-ordinator regarding program requirements and continuance in the program.

Because the BA (Honours)/BEd program integrates teacher education courses with academic courses, the student should note that the Pre-service Education courses are credited toward the BEd while the remaining courses are credited to the BA. For this reason, a student who transfers out of the BA (Honours)/BED program may not have credit in Pre-service Education courses applied to a BA degree. Students should note that credits for the concurrent BA (Honours)/BEd program are not evenly distributed between the years because of the structure of Education courses. Students are responsible to note Calendar and scheduling differences between the Undergraduate and Pre-service departments.

Successful graduates of the French Teaching Specialization program will receive a Bachelor of Arts honours degree in French and a Bachelor of Education degree. The Dean of the Faculty of Education may recommend that the Ontario College of Teachers grant an Ontario Certificate of Qualification certifying them to teach 7 - 12/OAC.

1.  The Ontario College of Teachers requires both a criminal record check and a criminal record declaration by the applicant as necessary components of registration for new applicants.
2.  The costs associated with the provision of the criminal record check and any appeals are to be borne by the applicant.
3.  All positive reports of criminal offences will be examined by the Ontario College of Teachers Registrar to determine whether the record of offence(s) is relevant to the applicant's honesty, integrity and/or suitability to practise the profession and whether the offence(s) constitute reasonable grounds for refusal to issue a certificate of qualification and registration, or to impose terms, conditions or limitations on registration, in accordance with Section 18(2) of the Ontario College of Teachers Act.
4.  Applicants for registration by the Ontario College of Teachers will be advised of the reasons for the decisions of the Ontario College of Teachers Registrar to refuse certification or to impose terms, conditions or limitations and that appeals to these decisions will be determined in accordance with Part III of the Ontario College of Teachers Act.

Questions regarding the policy should be directed to the Ontario College of Teachers.
