The focus of this class is on conversational speaking, so no written homework will be assigned. However, students will receive a sheet after class with the vocabulary and sentence structures to practice. For students who wish to have extra feedback, at the end of the course, students will receive an optional video assignment where they will film themselves answering questions provided on an interactive PowerPoint. I will provide specific feedback should they choose to submit the assignment.Assessment
Students who choose to do the optional end-of-class homework will receive video feedback on their performance. Written assessment and grading can be provided for homeschool or charter families where it is required. If this is your case, please don't hesitate to let me know.Grading
includedClass Experience
Bonjour, et bienvenue! This course offers an introduction to the French language for absolute beginners with little to no experience. Our weekly themes will be as follows: Class 1: Introducing Ourselves & Numbers 1-10 Class 2: Colors Class 3: Feelings Class 4: Likes and Dislikes Class 5: Weather Class 6: Food & Meals In class, I use a call and response method that is mostly immersion — I try to use little English, and encourage students to understand French with the use of relia, gestures, or visuals on the slides. Each student will have a chance to repeat new vocabulary words individually, working on pronunciation, and then will apply these words in sentences as well as questions. Students will be guided to ask each other questions. Through the use of learning materials such as slides, GIFs, gestures, and props, most students should be able to understand the sentence frames and vocabulary. I will model full sentences for them to gain confidence expressing themselves and provide error correction in a positive way as needed. This class will be an important prerequisite for any student looking to join a more casual French conversation club. Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. *** PLEASE NOTE ** : When enrolling, check the dates and times listed for each section. Some sections may meet 1x/week or others 2x/week in order to accommodate a wider variety of learner scheduling needs. ***
Learning Goals
Students will gain confidence in speaking French, learning to introduce themselves, talk about their age, feelings, likes, and dislikes. I will model full sentences for them and provide positive error correction if needed, in order for them to gain confidence expressing themselves.
