Adapt: Bringing the Devis to Life

A Community-Driven Shift in Practice

The reform of the ESL and FSL devis reflects a sustained, collective movement within the teaching community to better align language education with how languages are actually learned, used, and evaluated. Across Québec, teachers called for a shift away from fragmented, content-driven instruction toward approaches that emphasize meaningful communication, progression, and learner agency. The Ministère de l’Enseignement supérieur responded.

This section is designed to support the transition from implementation to adaptation. It brings together concrete resources, examples, and classroom practices that illustrate how the new devis can take shape in different contexts. The resources presented here are intended as flexible points of reference rather than prescriptive models, recognizing that departments and teachers are best positioned to respond to their own students, programs, and realities.

You can navigate this section based on what you want to focus on:

• From conceptual framework to classroom practice : This section presents guides designed to support the development of new pedagogical approaches and explores how they can contribute to more authentic, varied, and meaningful learning experiences.
• Integrate AI thoughtfully : Learn how AI is reshaping language teaching and learning, and explore practical ways to use it to support planning, feedback, and student autonomy.
• Go directly to ready-to-use examples : Explore complete learning scenarios developed by teachers – from innovative projects to practical classroom activities – that align with the new devis and can be adapted to your local context.
