This course has been designed to help teacher candidates improve their communicative fluency to better equip them for teaching in an elementary core French classroom. During this course, we will seek to maximize opportunities for conversation in French through games, songs, music, role-plays, movement and other activities. Social, emotional and cultural connections will be used to provide context and emphasize meaning. Participants will practise basic classroom language, ask and answer questions, engage in typical class scenarios, and explore themes connected to the elementary core French curriculum.

Our themes will include: formal and informal greetings, shopping, food, sports, occupations, hobbies, travel and classroom directions and routines.

Assignments:
◊ Attendance and Active Participation
◊ Recorded Speech Samples with reflections
◊ End of course Reflection and Action Plan

This is a Pass/Fail course. Heavy emphasis will be placed on participation and attendance due to the participatory nature of the course.
Interim Reports for Continued Problems
(please see Student Handbook re: Interim Reports) will be written in circumstances where students have more than one less-than-satisfactory assignment, or attendance or participation problems.

This course is connected to the following standards in the British Columbia College of Teachers Attainment of Standards Report (e-folio info):
Standard 6: Educators have a broad knowledge base and understand the subject areas they teach.
Standards 7: Educators engage in career-long learning.
