Intermediate Level
This class is designed to run alongside my Club français class, my French 1/2 for Secondary/Middle/High School With Kim Speaking Skills class or my Tout en français class. I will access students across both classes. This class will have an end of Cycle Project, where students will present a written and spoken component on an agreed topic. It is also suitable for the 2nd year of French GCSE or the French iGCSE exam. Parents will need to arrange for their learner to sit the GCSE/iGCSE at an Approved Centre. I have taught French 1 and French 2 courses for 3 years for an American online school with Outschool. The students reached the required standard and above. Learners may join the class at or near the beginning of any Cycle. Depending on the learner's level of French across Speaking, Listening, Reading, Writing and Grammar, they will need 4 to 6 Cycles to reach French 2 level. The GCSE course will usually take 2 academic years to complete. The homework tasks and Project topic are listed below. Project: Write down 3 things that you are going to do soon (using near future). Things went better (or worse) than you thought. Write what actually happened (in the passé composé) Write down 3 things that you want to do in the more distant future. Image you travel in to the even more distant future and write what actually happened (in the passé composé). Week 1. Homework task: Complete a 'Correct the errors' worksheet. Write the correct form of the verb given. Week 2. Homework task: 'Correct the errors' worksheet. Complete sentences using the verbs given. Week 3. Homework task: 'Correct the errors' worksheet. Make sure the verbs agree with the subject sheet. Week 4. Homework: 'Correct the errors' worksheet. Worksheet: Use the correct form of the Simple Future in the verb provided. Week 5. Homework task: Work of project. Week 6. w.c. 20th May. Project presentations. Games if we have time. No homework tasks, but general revision will be helpful!
