Grade Levels
AllAre you a teacher of French whose oral language skills could use a workout? Perhaps your French is out of shape or your confidence level could use a boost to match the level of French you teach. Maybe you’re not a teacher at all, but you want to dust off your French and put it to good use!
Whatever the reason, exercise and build-up your oral French skills in a fun, low-stress, collegial atmosphere where all participants can strengthen their language proficiency. The only prerequisites are that you have had some French instruction in the past and that you are willing to take risks to stretch your language muscles (while laughing at your mistakes!).
Expect to spend three days hearing and speaking French in an atmosphere that helps you dust off, retrieve, or shed new light on your long-ago French lessons. The linguistic workout will leave you exhausted in the best possible way: motivated and confident to begin the school year or achieve your language goals. Post camp you will be able to adapt all oral activities for your own students, regardless of age, language level, or French program.
All sessions will be held in French and participants can expect to hear and use French . The last day will include a walking tour of Edmonton’s French Quarter, weather permitting.
Target Audience
Grades K to 12 Teachers of FSL or French Immersion; Any adult desiring to practice their oral French
