This Cycle will focus on Speaking and Listening Skills, but will include a small Reading and Writing component. This Cycle will focus on the basic conversations we have with native French speakers. By the end of the Cycle students will be able to have a conversation with a person of a similar age, so they can find out how their age, where the live, if they have siblings or pets and what sports they like. They will also be able to ask questions to an adult that they meet for the first time. They will also be able to ask for food or drinks in a café, salon de thé, restaurant or boulangerie. The end of Cycle Project will be a conversation between the students and a French speaker in French. They will exchange information as above and will ask for something to eat and drink at a café. Students can to the conversation live or as a video/sound file/slide show. Students are welcome to ask additional questions, according to their interests and language skills. Students are welcome to submit written work and videos of the conversations via the Classroom Page at any point. I will provide feedback as soon as possible.
