- Some of the Most Common Gaps, Issues, and Opportunities for Improving FSL
Interpretations: Several recommendations have been made by the participants about the ideal
FSL program. These include training lessons focused primarily on developing the skills to communicate with the L2 learner. Therefore, a course based on the four components of communication competence (linguistic, sociolinguistic, strategic, and discursive) is substantial. According to the Ontario FSL curriculum, the elements of grammatical knowledge that learners need to master are determined by the specific requirements of individual real-life tasks and the social context in which the tasks are performed (Pawlikowska-Smith, G. 2002). Hence, L2 programs whose exploration of pedagogical grammar is limited to the essentials of traditional grammar-based teaching have thus shifted to innovative teaching methods. The frequency of use and the immediate need for communication that focuses on the different roles of the participant (public servant, community member, or college/university learners) is also taken into consideration. This addresses the diversity of learning styles and emphasizes the usefulness of the content for the learner. 38 Some of the Most Common Gaps, Issues, and Opportunities for Improving FSL The concept of FSL proficiency is based on the hypothesis that competence is not a unitary phenomenon but involves at least three components: grammatical, discourse, and sociolinguistic. The grammatical component refers to knowledge of the formal systems of lexis, morphology- syntax, and phonology; the discourse component refers to knowledge of the way sentences combine into meaningful sequences; and the sociolinguistic component refers to knowledge of the ways in which utterances are produced and understood appropriately in a social context. According to (Lussier, D. 2011) the recent Common European Framework of Reference for Languages: “’sociolinguistic competence’ is concerned with the knowledge and skills required to deal with the social dimension of language use. Since language is a sociocultural phenomenon, it is viewed as linguistic markers of social relations, politeness conventions, expressions of folk- wisdom, register differences, and dialect and accents.” (p.38). The assumption is that learners may develop competence in any of these areas relatively independently, that learners and native speakers will differ in their relative mastery of these skills, and that the skills are involved in different degrees in a different language (Allen, 1983). Indeed, the measurement of the degree of control of the FSL performance’s contents and the objective training process' achievement related to its performance in oral and written abilities depends on the communication competence components. A link was made between the training objective and the communication competency components to evaluate the assessment conditions and language skills. The phenomenon of communication underlines variable gears: shifting learning activities and evaluation into a coherent system to identify learning goals better; maintaining the means of learning; promoting skills and abilities to achieve L2; and upholding learning efforts to achieve higher standards of linguistic aptitudes. From the participants’ 39 viewpoints, activities that focus on the learner, based on their interests, experience, and indispensable meaning, could be relevant for competent interaction in the L2.
