Date and Time: Wednesday, August 17, 2022 at 11:00 am Eastern
What is more engaging and compelling to students than to talk about themselves? In this session, French teachers will be introduced to Comprehensible Input strategies such as Card Talk and Special Student Interview. By having activities that center around genuinely getting to know our students, we can build classroom communities all while acquiring French.
Learning Goals:
- We are learning what it means to teach French using Comprehensible Input strategies.
- We are learning to shift our lens from practicing French to communicating in French.
- We are learning to follow our call as Christians to better love our neighbour by getting to know each other.
