Beginning High School French

Students will learn to read, write, and speak French as a beginning student. 
Students will learn francophone countries and cultures of the world. 

I am a licensed French teacher grades preK-12 and I would love to meet your student in my class! I have over 10 years teaching experience in-person and over 3 years teaching experience online with students ages 4-14. See you soon!

I have lived for a year in Aix-en-Provence, France where I taught ESL in a private school. I have also traveled to Quebec, Canada 4 times with my middle school students. In the classroom for over 10 years,  I have been required to teach about over 20 francophone countries as a requirement of the Virginia Standards of Learning for French. In addition, my classes always follow the National Foreign Language Association’s 5 C’s of language learning, which includes culture. In this course, students will learn about 10 different francophone countries. They will learn where they are on a map, why they speak French, and how French in used in their country. 

Students will be sent a vocabulary list at the start of each class to review and practice in between class meetings. As the class builds and students learn to speak, read, and write in the target language, the teacher will send exercises for the students to read/complete in between the class meetings. This will help reinforce vocabulary and words learned in class.

The teacher will listen to the class and generalize any pronunciation corrections that need to be made to the class as a whole. 

1 hour 20 minutes per week in class, and an estimated 0 - 1 hours per week outside of class.
