Welcome! In this OISE Library Course Guide, you'll find a variety of resources to support teaching French as a Second Language, including:

• Information on borrowing practicum resources during COVID-19 library closures (curbside pickup services)
• Curated booklists of recommended French language texts from the OISE Library collection
• Video tutorials on identifying and accessing French language textbooks and teaching materials

If you have further questions, please contact the OISE Library at oise.library@utoronto.ca, or take advantage of one of our virtual research help options, like Zoom reference hours or the AskChat service. For additional information and detailed instructions on advanced searching, please check out our CTL Library Resources modules. 

In addition to our e-collections, the OISE Library has four distinct print collections. While the OISE Library remains closed to the public, these collections are available by request via the Robarts Curbside Pickup Service. 

If you find a print item in our catalogue, just use the "Get Help" button to request it via Curbside Pickup. OISE Library staff will retrieve the book from our shelves before sending it off to Robarts Library, where they'll coordinate details for pickup. 

Please note: due to logistical hurdles, there are items from our collections that are not available through the curbside pickup service. In particular, multi-part kits and oversized materials are not retrievable. We apologize in advance for the inconvenience.
