Francés 101 - Clase semestral - De 14 a 18 años

Bonjour!  Je M'appelle Madame Cristina!!  Comment t'appelles-tu?  Quel est votre nom?

Learners will gain a comprehensive knowledge of the French language in a highly interactive setting.  We will cover all of the items that would be covered in a French I level course of study in Middle or High School.

My teaching style is to combine visual aids and hands on activities to attend to the different learning abilities of all those in the class.
Not only will students learn basic vocabulary but there will also be an emphasis on French culture.  We will also compare the similarities between French and other European languages, such as Portuguese, Spanish, and Italian.  ** Please note, a portion of our 1st class will be getting to know about your individual learners and their learning style. I model my lessons to try and accommodate every style in my classes.**

Items will build from week to week and we will begin each class answering questions in French from the week before. By the end of the course, learners will be speaking, reading and writing basic French and able to share details about themselves in French.

Learners do not require any previous language experience. Students will have the opportunity to work on worksheets during class and outside of class time for maximum retention.

This is an inclusive class in which students of all abilities are welcome. If a student is unable to communicate verbally they are welcome to use the chat. If your student has any other needs that require accommodations please let me know and we will work develop a way for your learner to participate in a way that they are able.

 A letter grade can be provided, by request, at the end of the semester based on participation and completion of work.
If you do not see a time frame that meets your scheduling needs, please let me know and I will try to accommodate your learner.
