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 are not a teacher at all and just want to dust off your high school French to put it to good use.
Whatever the reason, exercise 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’ve had some French instruction in the past and that you are willing to take risks and laugh at your inevitable mistakes.
Expect to spend two days hearing and speaking French, digging through the cobwebs of your brain to retrieve and use every long forgotten French lesson from your past. The linguistic workout will leave you exhausted in the best possible way, motivated and more confident to begin the school year. Post camp, you will be able to adapt and use all oral activities with your students of any age, language level or French program.
Join Level 1: if you struggle to put coherent sentences together en français
Join Level 2: if you have some fluency and need to work on precision. There will be opportunity to try out and switch levels during the camps.
This session will be delivered in French.
Target Audience
