Curriculum Units
Francophone Africa: Lessons from Cameroon
These LESSONS FROM CAMEROON are brought to you by the African
Studies Program at Indiana University. They are the product of
a Fulbright-Hays Group Project Abroad (GPA). During the summer
of 1996, eleven middle school and high school French language
teachers spent five weeks in Cameroon, studying about Francophone
Africa, and about Cameroon in particular. As a result of the
trip, the teachers developed curriculum units on a variety of
topics.
The lessons are meant
to be adapted to suit your class or teaching needs and are only
select extracts from the original curriculum units. The hard copy
versions of the original curriculum units are available from the
Indiana University African Studies Program Outreach Library.
