What are my teaching techniques for lasting results ?
Using a communicative approach for teaching French
Firstly, your French classes focus on communication, encouraging you to speak and interact in the language. You will practice French in real-life contexts, tapping into various aspects of French culture, including current events, food, sports, art, and business. This method not only helps you learn vocabulary but also improves your listening and pronunciation skills through conversation.
Adapting my learning style
Understanding your requirements
In addition, your reasons for studying French matter. Are you preparing for a job or simply looking to order food at a restaurant? Maybe you plan to move to France or take a short vacation in a French-speaking area. Understanding your needs helps shape our lessons to fit your goals. By aligning the curriculum with your objectives, you’ll find our classes more relevant and rewarding.
Introducing task-based learning
Grammar is important, but practical use of the language is key to effective learning. This approach emphasizes communication over rote memorization. Task-based learning encourages you to engage in activities that require conversation and collaboration. This method helps enhance your speaking skills, making learning French more interactive and enjoyable.
Avoiding outdated curriculum
Last but not least, using modern vocabulary and relevant topics keeps lessons engaging. You’ll learn phrases and words that you can actually use in daily conversations and workplace situations. By staying current, your lessons become more interesting and useful, helping you remain engaged and motivated. Your focus will be on the language aspects that truly matter to you, making your learning experience more meaningful.
