The Department of Modern Languages, Literatures and Cultures and the Faculty of Education cooperate in offering a concurrent fiveyear 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 Frenchspeaking environment as approved by the department.

Students in the program must be registered fulltime and follow the prescribed program. Any exceptions must have the approval of the Coordinator.

Students in the French Teaching Specialization BA (Honours)/BEd program should consult the French Teaching Specialization Coordinator 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 Preservice 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 Preservice 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 Preservice 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. Upon successful completion of a teacher education program, teacher candidates are normally recommended to the Ontario College of Teachers for membership and to receive their Ontario Certificate of Qualification. In addition to successful completion of a Teacher Education Program, teacher candidates will be required by the Ministry of Education of Ontario to pass an Ontario Teacher Qualifying test.

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.
