Découvrir le Français (III): Level 1 French For Beginners

Each week in this class, students will learn French through repetition and voice variation. Repetition for language acquisition is key and will play a large part in this course, both in the form of speaking and singing (don't worry, you don't need to be a professional. It's just for fun!) This is part 3 of my level 1 French class (Découvrir le Français) and it is not a requirement that students complete parts 1 and 2, but it is recommended that students take the other two classes at some point (before or after this class, either is fine) as we will not cover the same material in this class. 

This is a beginner level French class. Students are not required to have any prior knowledge of French to attend this class. This class is a bundle of my one time classes for beginners. This class is near-immersive, with about 85% French and 15% English to ensure student comprehension. 

Each class will use a PowerPoint, and students will be provided with a handout to review after each class. Each handout covers the French material and also provides the English translation. 

Each week will have a different theme. They are as follows: 
Week 1: Forest animals
Week 2: Clothing 
Week 3: Spring vocab
Week 4: Summer vocab
Week 5: Fall vocab
Week 6:  Winter vocab
Week 7: Meals, food and drinks (different than part 1 vocab)
Week 8: Marine animals
Week 10: Travel vocab (vacation, hotel, map, etc.)

As the weeks progress, students will gain confidence in their language skills. 

Students will have the opportunity to speak throughout the class as we go through the PowerPoint. Because students are encouraged to repeat and speak in class, a working microphone is required. 

In order for all students to hear me in class, I employ a strict muting policy. I will unmute students one at a time so they can work with me, and all students will have many opportunities to speak. Young students may need a parent to help them unmute. I go over the muting policy each class as a reminder to students. Additionally, due to Outschool policy, students must identify themselves on camera at least once at the beginning of class.
