I use a mix of tailored materials depending on the student’s level and needs. This includes textbooks, online resources like videos and interactive exercises, as well as French podcasts, articles, and songs to immerse students in real-life language. I also provide worksheets and handouts that focus on specific grammar and vocabulary points. For younger or beginner students, I might use flashcards, games, or simple stories, while more advanced students will work with news articles or literature.
I make sure to balance all four skills in every lesson. For speaking, we do conversational practice to ensure the student can apply what they’ve learned. For listening, I often use audio exercises, podcasts, or French music. Writing is integrated through short essays, journaling, or creative writing prompts, and for reading, we use articles, short stories, or news snippets to improve comprehension. I encourage students to apply these skills in real-world scenarios, like ordering in a restaurant or writing an email in French.
Yes, I always assign homework or practice exercises to reinforce what we’ve covered in the lesson. This might include grammar exercises, writing prompts, listening tasks, or vocabulary drills. I make sure the assignments are engaging and relevant to the student’s interests to keep motivation high. Homework helps reinforce concepts between lessons, and I tailor it to the student’s level and learning objectives.
Pronunciation is key, so I focus on it from the very beginning. I break down difficult sounds, demonstrate correct mouth positioning, and use repetition exercises. I also have students listen and repeat words or phrases and use language apps or recordings for additional practice.
I teach grammar and vocabulary in context, which means I prefer to introduce new rules and words as we work through texts, conversations, or practical exercises. Instead of overwhelming students with grammar rules up front, I gradually introduce them as needed and make sure they understand how to use them in real-life situations. For vocabulary, I focus on thematic learning (e.g., food, travel, work) and use a lot of repetition and active usage, such as creating dialogues, role-playing, or writing short stories.
Absolutely! I believe every student learns differently, so I adapt my teaching methods based on what works best for each individual. For visual learners, I use diagrams, charts, and videos. For auditory learners, I emphasize listening exercises, songs, and verbal instructions. Kinesthetic learners might benefit from interactive activities like role-playing or physical games. My goal is to make learning engaging and effective, regardless of the student’s preferred learning style.
