¡Una historia! ¡Una historia! Clase de francés para principiantes

In this club students will focus on speaking using an language acquisition model called TPRS (Teaching Proficiency through Storytelling). Each class, we will learn vocabulary that we will incorporate into a story that we will tell. Our stories last over several weeks where we focus on certain themes. At the end of each story, students will be able to be express themselves more and more in French. 

Students will learn how to do greetings, verbs (to be, to go, to speak, to ask, to want, to need, to eat, etc.), how to appropriately conjugate verbs in context, to ask and answer questions, basic free writing, basic reading in French, vocabulary for weather, body parts, foods, etc. 

The class will be structured as a collaborative class. Each student will speak and act out different roles. My role as the teacher is to guide the students in the storytelling process and to pre-teach vocabulary using TPR (Total Physical Response) and translation. Students will be the ones who are primarily doing the speaking through question, response, and repetition. 

This class is meant to help students develop language naturally, not to learn language (much like when an infant develops speech).
