Décrire un animal with lino

Hello!

I found this cute lino entitled Décrire un animal. Pupils can use these descriptions as models for their own lino on pets or try to correct the mistakes!

Enjoy!

Film titles and Wikipedia

Hello everyone!

J'aime 'Amis' (I love 'Friends'), J'adore 'Congelé' (I love 'Frozen')...

Translating titles is quite a challenging task for pupils, particularly when some titles are translated, some aren't, and some are completely changed to suit the language!!!

But I have the solution! Wikipedia for once can be a reliable source and gives the correct film titles in France (or anywhere!).

Pupils simply go on Wikipedia, enter the name of the film in English (for example: Frozen), then 'français' from the left sidebar and TA DA!

Have fun searching for different film titles with your pupils! You can also give them a list of French film titles and ask them to guess which films they are!

Ma France - French Video Course for Post Beginners

Hello everyone,

First of all:

Happy New Year!

I've just come across an online 24-unit video course designed by the BBC and called Ma France. Each unit includes 3 videos on a chosen topic such as directions, hotel requests, eating out, football, etc. In each unit, the first video (A) concentrates on introducing topic-related vocabulary and grammar, the second video (B) focuses on a cultural aspect and in the third video (C), the interviewees are given a challenge! All videos are shot in France, with native speakers.

Pupils can watch the videos with or without subtitles and subtitles are available in French and/or in English. If you have a fast connection, I recommend that you choose the interactive flash version.

Now this is what it looks like:

              

For each unit, teachers can also download suggested activities which give additional guidance on how best to use the videos in the classroom.

Hope you find this resource useful!

Audio Lingua

Hi everyone!

I've just bumped into a website and am really excited to share it with you! It is called Audio Lingua and it has over 3000 short mp3 files in 10 different languages, of which 455 are in French!

The files are on a variety of topics (recipes, hobbies, opinion on books, films or TV, etc.). They are authentic materials recorded by native speakers only. These files can be listened to online or they can be downloaded. You can also contribute and upload your own recordings on the website. All you then need to do is create your own teaching materials to go alongside these audio recordings.
 

Have a great weekend!

Passeport pour la Francophonie

Hello!

I've just found this very exciting interactive website called Passeport pour la Francophonie which you can use at the start of the year, on the international day of 'Francophonie' or at any other time of the year!

Once you've clicked on a country (France, Egypt, Gabon, Madagascar or Polynesia), you are taken to a series of activities related to the country chosen, from vocabulary lists (with sound to practise pronunciation) to stories, videos and challenges, with supporting materials and guidance on how to use them. A great way of raising cultural awareness wilst having fun!



Hope you and your pupils enjoy this!

Welcome to my Blog!

Hello everyone and welcome to my new blog!

Today I want to talk to you about my little addiction to My Little Paris. Apart from the fact that the illustrations are simply beautiful, the site has some very good 'insolite' stories and articles which I regularly pin and share with my pupils. I also LOVE My Little Radio, which is a list of playlists (English and French tracks) for every situation... To listen to with or without pupils around! You'll need to sign up to DEEZER to listen to the tracks.

Have a nice day!
