Assessment
Learner progress will be assessed daily during each lesson as the teacher sees and hears that the student has become independent in reciting the information learned during the calendar routine. Students will be able to ask and answer questions in both languages. Students will have individual turns to demonstrate progress and understanding. Parents can also assess their own child's progress as they become more independent during their participation in class as well as how they are using learned information outside of class.

▬▬▬▬▬▬  ⭐Course Overview⭐ ▬▬▬▬▬▬
In this course, students will learn and practice French and English language skills as well as fundamental concepts such as days of the week, months of the year, reading and writing the date, numbers, colors, shapes, counting, number order, letter names and sounds, and rhyming. This class is designed to provide an engaging and interactive learning experience for students, with the use of visual aids such as slides, hand gestures, facial expressions, voice intonation, and body movements. The instructor will incorporate various teaching methods such as chanting, singing, and call and response to help students retain the information effectively.

By the end of this course, students will have a solid foundation in the French and English language with basic concepts. They will have developed strong listening and communication skills and be able to read and write the date, count, and identify colors and shapes in both languages.

Augustus Haines
Doris Sandra Avoum: 
Bonjour!
I’m Doris and teaching languages is my passion and my full time job.  I’m from Cameroun and I live in USA. I love speaking French. I have studied French for about 18 years and I have been teaching it for 3 years.  I have a Master degree in Medical Anthropology from the University of Yaoundé 1.
In my experience as a teacher, I’ve met people with multiple learning goals, so I can say I’m a flexible patient teacher and I’m able to adapt a lesson to different ways of learning and needs. I love interacting with students and being part of their learning process. 
During my lessons, I prefer to use a communicative approach whether to study vocabulary, pronunciation or active grammar. That is, in other words, I focus on the use of the language and try to create a 100% French speaking environment progressively. 
Regarding grammar teaching, I use both an inductive and deductive approach. For instance, you can discover the rules through different activities that require your engagement and interaction or I can explain to you any aspect of grammar by giving you the rules and practicing with examples and exercises. Sometimes we can do one of these ways or both in the same lesson, taking into account your learning style.
