Resumen

El objetivo principal de este estudio fue describir las competencias en francés como lengua extranjera (FLE) en futuros profesores de FLE. Este estudio se realizó con todos los estudiantes neerlandófonos (n=40) que cursaban el Máster universitario en profesorado de educación secundaria obligatoria y bachillerato (Gante, Bélgica) durante 2013-2014 y 2014-2015. Los análisis revelaron resultados interesantes sobre su nivel en FLE y diferentes tipos de errores en sus producciones escritas. En conclusión, la presencia de errores escritos en FLE en profesores en formación sugiere la necesidad de diseñar nuevas estrategias didácticas para mejorar sus competencias escritas durante sus estudios de grado
