Author: Derrick Adjei Kankam
Abstract: In language education, having background knowledge about the history of a particular language is beneficial in broadening the knowledge of both teachers and students. As Francophiles, it is of great interest to us to pay particular attention to the origin of the French language, how it evolved from Latin and how it was taught from antiquity to modern times. Therefore, this work seeks to discuss the origin of the French language, how it evolved from Latin, the role of Jesuits in language teaching, the methodologies of language teaching, the Professionalism of teaching personnel, and the language policy of education.
