Leçons de français à Arcachon
Recording: http://lancelot.adobeconnect.com/p30377198/ (55min)
Meet in Arcachon’s 50s schoolroom for a brief overview of how Helen has used SL (1) for personal language development (2) as a resource to support classroom-based French lessons (3) as a real space for teaching.
Then follow her to the beach houses to observe a re-enactment of a scene presented with native speakers ‘live’ to her 15 year olds last week, selecting a holiday home. You can join in at any level – beginners can enjoy the authentic ambiance, learners can repeating the words and phrases or volunteer to ask questions. Cyber Placebo (RL Edith Paillat) will support pedagogically and technically!
