The MEEF PIF Master's program, Creole track, is aimed at students wishing to train for the profession of Creole language teacher in middle and high school and for careers in cultural mediation.

In Master 1, students receive teaching that consolidates their university knowledge and initial pedagogical and professional training (knowledge of the education system, didactic initiation, knowledge of needs, places of cultural and intercultural mediation).

In Master 2, students deepen their knowledge of Creole language didactics and of Réunion's cultural heritage and clarify their professional choices between teaching and cultural mediation professions for internships.

Educational goals : 

The Creole program is aimed at students wishing to train for the profession of Creole language teacher in middle and high school and for careers in cultural mediation.
Regarding the profession of Creole language teacher, this course allows one to follow a set of courses enabling one to acquire and develop professional skills to teach Creole and another subject (literature, English, Spanish) and to prepare for external recruitment competitions for the civil service (Certificate of Aptitude for Secondary School Teaching (CAPES) Creole).

This course also allows you to acquire in-depth knowledge of Creole-speaking areas (history, civilization, environment, society, culture), necessary for cultural mediation professions.
Students will be able to learn about and through research related to the fields of teaching, training, creolistics and cultural mediation.

The program follows an integrative approach, combining internships and coursework. Depending on their career goals, students can choose their internship placements from among educational institutions and cultural mediation venues (museums, cultural institutions, associations, etc.).

The training offered is based on the principle of alternating between work situations experienced in schools and/or cultural structures and lessons on the teaching of the Creole language and on Reunion's cultural heritage.

Jobs related to cultural and intercultural mediation are particularly developed and the opportunities are numerous.

Total hours worked: 452 hours

The training is structured around several teaching units:

• Creole-speaking areas
• The use of languages
• The Creole language
• The teaching profession
• Reflective analyzes and tools.

The skills acquired during this training are in line with those of the RNCP record

The observation and adaptation internships to professions last six weeks, spread over two semesters of the academic year of Master 1 and Master 2. Students carry out their professional internships in educational establishments and in cultural mediation venues, under the responsibility of an internship supervisor designated by the structure.

The discovery of the two places (local public educational establishment and cultural structures) will allow students to choose a professional project.
