FLE 2 - INTERMEDIATE

The main focus of this class is to get the children to use words and typical phrases expressing who they are, what they like and how they feel and to develop their French vocabulary by family of words.

Situations are linked to feelings (i.e. anger, joy, etc), sensorial worlds and daily life: what they hear, what they taste, smell, see.

The teaching approach encourages the children’s participation through songs, games, crafts, drawings and notions of basic written French.

The main objective of this class is for children to understand and express themselves in French.

Children are encouraged to talk about themselves, their tastes, their environment (family and school), their plans, fears and preferences. 

The focus is on everyday conversational language.  The children learn to talk about where they come from, where they live – we also focus on how to ask basic questions – talk about the weather…

Each child has his own notebook for lessons and homework as well as a smaller notebook (we call it “vocab book”) for vocabulary.
