PLEASE NOTE THAT I AM NOT FRENCH! I AM ENGLISH AND HAVE LIVED AND WORKED IN FRANCE AND BELGIUM. I SPEND TIME AT MY HOUSE IN FRANCE, WHERE I JOIN IN WITH FRENCH VILLAGE LIFE. This class is for students who already speak French well and want to keep skills sharp/improve their French with other students at a similar level. We will discuss a range of topics almost entirely in French. Some miming etc may be involved! I may use a little English if all else fails. The classes will be interactive, but may have less singing than my usual classes, unless the learners want to sing, of course!. Each class will have some information about French life and culture. Students are welcome to have a good quality dictionary to hand - tiny dictionaries will not be helpful. We will use the present tense, the passé composé and the future tense (je vais + infinitive) and occasionally the imperfect tense and the conditional tense in the classes. w.c. 13th January. Quel temps fait-il chez toi? What is the weather like where you are? What types of weather do you like? What are your favourite activities when it is hot/cold/raining/snowing/sunny etc? w.c. 20th January. On rêve des vacances d'été...what sort of summer holidays would you like to have this year? What did you do last summer? What do you NOT like to do in the summer holidays? More themes to follow. Learner suggestions are always welcome!
Learning Goals
Students will have the opportunity to speak in French for a whole lesson and to listen to others speaking in French. I will offer scaffolding of sentences for students if absolutely necessary! We will use a range of tenses in class.
