LE NEUVIÈME ART À L’ŒUVRE: BANDE DESSINÉE FOR THE FRENCH CLASSROOM | A CONTINUING EDUCATION WORKSHOP FOR FRENCH TEACHERS This 2-day workshop introduced teachers to the history of French-language comics and vocabulary needed for textual analysis, as well as addressed how to create language learning activities based in this kind of authentic text content so as to respect the artistic medium and the goals of the language classroom. Activities were designed to enrich language teaching from the beginning through advanced levels, including attention to AP and IB themes. The workshop took place in the reading room and classrooms of the Billy Ireland Cartoon Library and Museum, and all materials (books) and lunches were provided. The majority of sessions will be conducted in French. The workshop will be facilitated by Ohio State University faculty and staff.
