Teaching Tips

Asking other learners to give feedback can be a useful way to get them to listen attentively to each other. The feedback can be focused by asking them to look for specific qualities (is it interesting/useful/beautiful?) and to express their opinions in the target language.

Do One Thing!

• Teach your class some phrases they can use to give feedback on each other’s work and regularly ask them ‘Qu’en pensez-vous?’

• Congratulate yourself on how much French you can produce to talk about a place! Reflect on how you achieved this. Think about how you could break down into small steps what you now know, and teach it to your class

• Research a Francophone country and present a series of lessons on it, based on the language and the teaching strategies you have learned
