What is this class about? ● “When ACQUIRING another language: ○ ○ ○ First, we learn to LISTEN. We learn to READ what we’ve heard. We learn to WRITE what we’ve read and heard. Finally, we SPEAK because we’ve heard, read, and written it. ” Used with permission by Grant Boulanger ● Acquire French through storytelling and comprehensible input. ○ ○ ○ Listen to simple stories and music Read simple stories, articles, beginner novels Students need to focus on understanding what they hear and read. Students need to show Madame they understand show Madame when they don’t. Madame needs to use French in ways that students can understand.
