Intermediate - Advanced Level
Jean de La Fontaine collected and wrote fables from a wide variety of sources, both Western and Eastern, and adapted them into French free verse with charming animal characters. Readers of his fables must actively decide the moral of the story and the lessons it provides when looking at their own lives. Join us as we read and discuss 14 of these fables in class. This is a full-immersion French class. Students are expected to converse only in the target language. This is a gret way to increase...
This class is taught in French.

Bonjour! I am Madame Heather and I am a licensed French teacher for ages preK-12. I have 15 years teaching experience in the classroom and over 5 years teaching experience online. I have a BA in French, an MA in Sociolinguitics, and I have lived in the south of France where I taught ESL. I am an engaging teacher who focuses first on making the student feel comfortable learning a new language in a natural way. I believe learning a language should be fun and I also like to use manipulatives to keep students moving during class. I look forward to helping your student expand their interest in francophone culture and language.
