Activity-based learning
Description
Activity-based learning focuses on a French lesson which aims to help the pupils talk about themselves. The class learn vocabulary about pets and how to use structures j ai and mon/ma in different situations. CPD trainer and Advanced Skills Teacher, Christine Capon, takes this lesson which could be led by teachers with any level of French. The lesson follows three stages. Stage one focuses on a range of audio, visual and kinaesthetic approaches to introduce and consolidate new vocabulary. The class then practice their new vocabulary in small groups using cue and response techniques. The third part provides a context for the pupils to use the new vocabulary, which avoids pure repetition. The class teacher leads an introductions game, where the pupils dress in wigs and respond spontaneously to other pupils characters. Anne Farren, General Advisor for MFL at Richmond, provides expert commentary.
