En Passage

This website, which remains linked to Dr. Ochoa-Shivapour’s partner site, is designed to serve as a sustainable program resource that will foreground issues related to immigration and migration in all of my courses. A continual work in progress, it will eventually contain resources and assignments appropriate for use in a variety of different kinds of courses, ranging from the beginning to the advanced level in French and also for courses taught in English.

Assignments uploaded to the site will follow a standard template that includes the following categories of information:

  • Context for Use
  • Summary and Description (including Teaching Materials)
  • Assessment
  • Learning Outcomes
  • Additional Resources

Sample student projects will be provided for each assignment. This website is designed to open up possibilities for cross-disciplinary and cross-institutional collaboration on class projects related to the phenomena of immigration and migration in the Francophone world.
