How can I improve in French class?



1) Work on oral language :

  • Aim to “communicate and interact”

  • Participate frequently in class discussions

  • Speak to your peers spontaneously in French

  • Speak to your teacher in French without prompting

  • Follow a French podcast and  French-language Instagram pages

  • Listen to French Youtubers, tv shows and movies 

  • Make and describe connections

  • Practice presentations in front of the mirror, a friend, a relative, a teacher, etc.



2) Work on written language : 

  • Use informal feedback to revise final products

  • Proofread and edit work before submission (grammar, spelling, sentence structure)

  • Follow assignment outlines and review evaluations 

  • Practice language structures frequently (try your course pack or Quizlet)

  • Form a study group to work with peers. Make a collaborative vocab chart!


3) Overall : 

  • Follow written/verbal instructions and look for cues to help you understand

  • Show your thinking in ways that are unique to you

  • Demonstrate critical thinking

  • Use analysis skills modelled in class discussions/lessons in assignments

  • Ask lots of questions! 

  • Speak in French as often as possible!

  • Come in for extra help!
