The Moderns French department’s focus is on engaging students in opportunities for authentic French communication as well as opening the doors to a new culture and way of life. It is our goal as a staff to provide students with a “lifelong language learning experience” that they can use in the future. We focus on listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills through the use of various texts, and technology. Students are given a variety of tasks that focus on their strengths and needs. The focus is on acquiring a new language, understanding other cultures, making connections, comparisons ,and contrasts to their culture and the francophone culture around the world. We promote diversity and provide an environment where students develop an intercultural awareness by exploring diverse cultures in order to enrich their own.
The Importance of Verbal Communication
- The use of the target language by the teacher and students is an excellent way to improve and enhance communication skills
- Dialogs, skits and games should be based on thematic activities
- Focus as much as possible on oral production
- Focus on communication tasks which are based on real life experiences of the students, as well as social activities which interest and motivate students to learn how to speak the target language
- Dialogs and tasks should focus on interaction as opposed to memory
- Spoken production requires students to learn new vocabulary on continuous basis
- Give students ample opportunities to practice target language (time in class to practice interaction with new vocabulary learned in each unit)
- Give the student more than one opportunity for assessment and evaluation
- Know the learner and allow him or her to use visuals, cues, English words or sentences they can refer to while speaking
- Use Multiple Intelligences and Differentiated Instructions to access different learning styles
