Preparation for school exams

Grammar
Each sequence is based on the following model: an oral or written comprehension from an authentic document allowing to introduce the grammar point followed or preceded by an oral production, an activity in which the learner is led to discover the grammar rule, one or more practice exercises, an oral production activity using the grammar point, an exercise to do at home.
The activities proposed are intended to be fun, motivating and dynamic: the exercises and oral production require more creativity on the part of the learner, and the activities are more cross-curricular, calling on a variety of lexical fields so as not to be limited to the simple grammatical aspect. The aim of these activities is to promote a lively vision of grammar, hence the important part played by oral production.

Vocabulary through oral expression activities
I offer activities to discover, practice and revise vocabulary on different themes through games, quizzes, sketchnotes, posters etc. Some activities are purely vocabulary oriented and others give more space to free expression. These activities will allow you to discover, revise or deepen the vocabulary of everyday items, such as food, clothes, furniture etc. Through them you will be able to talk about many elements of everyday life. I will ask questions and make observation remarks on the grammar point. The learners have to answer questions, justify their proposal and to debate on chosen topics. Having a debate allows students to practice and improve their oral skills.

Oral and written production
The topics are presented in the form of a short text accompanied by a picture or a document + videos, songs, podcasts, etc. Each topic deals with a different lexical field or situation of written or oral communication, e.g. asking information, writing a cover letter, making a complaint at the post office, etc. They will immerse learners in credible communication situations. I suggest topic that mobilise the skills required for the DELF.

Individual Classes A2 to C2

Prononciation and reading lessons aim to improve speaking and pronunciation. 
The courses are based on various exercises to help you speak as a French speaker.
