French Beginner and Intermediate
Grades: 2nd - 5th (Ages: 7 - 12) Co-ed
Open a window to another culture, communicate in another language, and make discoveries! Big Learning instructors are fluent in the language they teach and lessons are designed to build practical language and early literacy skills in a fun, informal language immersion setting with lively games, songs, activities, and an accompanying workbook. This level is appropriate for new beginners and also for continuing students with previous language experience. Classes may include students who have completed one or more beginner or intermediate sessions and also children who hear and speak French at home. Our teachers will make student assessments to form groups and tailor instruction with differentiated activities and workbooks. Students who are ready for more advanced material will be given intermediate or advanced workbooks. As children progress from beginner to advanced, there is more writing practice. Classes are intended for children who are already reading and writing in English. Each session (Fall, Winter, and Spring) explores different themes and topics.
Additional Notes
Minimum 8, Maximum 12 students
On the first day of class, children will receive a French Beginner workbook in a pocket folder, which they will bring to class with them each week. We encourage parents to review their children’s workbooks with them after every lesson and ask them to share what they are learning. Children may need reminders to bring their workbooks to French class each week.
