parcours d'apprentissage
The English phrase "learning journey" is translated into French as parcours d'apprentissage.
parcours d'apprentissage refers to the process of acquiring new skills or knowledge over a period of time. It is a term commonly used in pedagogical, professional development and educational contexts.
What does it mean word for word?
The phrase is composed of parcours (path or journey) and apprentissage (learning or apprenticeship).
Which one should you use?
While parcours d'apprentissage is a standard way to express the idea, you can also use chemin d'apprentissage to mean "learning path".
How does it change in a sentence?
Because apprentissage is a noun, it is connected to the noun parcours via the preposition de, which is contracted to d' before the vowel.
Did you know?
- While apprentissage means 'learning', it is also the official term for a legal 'apprenticeship' contract in France. A person in a parcours d'apprentissage might literally be a paid apprentice in a trade.
- In a pedagogical context, a parcours is often a structured, modular sequence of credits. Unlike a 'journey' which implies exploration, a parcours d'apprentissage in French administration is often a rigid, predefined map.
- The word parcours is also used in French to describe the 'running route' of a race or even the specific 'path' of a professional career. This makes the phrase sound less like an emotional experience and more like a structured, mapped-out sequence of events.
