高校フランス語1年間コース - レベル3

This class is designed for French students who have completed 2 years of French study. Students will use vocabulary and grammar relating to a new theme each week in conversation, as well as playing games and completing activities. All of this will be done completely in French unless I have explained something several different ways and students are still struggling. 

Each class is separate, so you can join or leave at any time without needing to know previous information.

CLASS LAYOUT

Each class, we will start by introducing ourselves in French. We will have a conversation about the topic, and I will introduce any vocabulary entirely in French using definitions, pictures, synonyms, etc. We will have some basic grammar points which I will explain mostly in French, but this section may be taught with a little English depending on the group of students and the topic. 

Then, students will be given a role-play  to work through in breakout rooms.* With their classmate(s), they will have a simple conversation in French about the topic (eating out, making plans, etc), while writing down any words they don’t know or forgot. Back in the main room, we will look at the vocabulary gaps and work on filling them. Some weeks, we may do our role play in the main room if it works better with a larger group. 

We will also complete an activity in order to apply what we learn. The activities may include games, learning songs, reading children’s books, etc. 

*We need at least 4 students in order to run breakout rooms. All break-out rooms will be closely monitored by me switching between rooms to keep students on-topic and help when needed.
