In this course, students will learn the French for beginners curriculum through interactive lectures where they will have the opportunity to participate in class discussions and conversations with a partner, all in a relaxed atmosphere. We use presentations with visuals  to introduce the content followed by student's centered activities such as role playing and games. This course does not build on previous topics and learners can join at any time. After the lesson, students may complete a series of optional activities to reinforce the lesson's content. These activities will include a combination of skills: reading, speaking and writing and will not reflect on the following meeting. All instructional materials will be available through the Outschool classroom.

Because this is a subscription based class, learners can join at any time. I have created the entire curriculum with centralized lessons that facilitate understanding and the memorization of a small group of words and phrases through repetition and their use in a a meaningful context for young learners. Fun and age appropriate topics as well as language immersion suited for beginners will translate into fluency.
