The French Class The French class is a group of student teachers who are learning how to teach oral French to English-speaking pupils . Mister Guillet teaches the fluency part of the course While Mrs . Zahara teaches methodology . In our fluency classes, we strive at improving our ability to speak French. To achieve this, we express, in French, our point of views on different issues, such as the drinking and voting age. Simple dramatizations, such as a telephone conversation, help all of us to over- come the fear of speaking a different language in front of a group of people . ln our methodology classes we learn how to conduct an oral lesson and how to elicit pupil response and pupil involvement. To do so requires the proper use of games, songs, student participation, quizzes and films . First of all We experience demonstration lessons after which we express our opinions on how to stimulate and maintain a high degree of interest in the French class . Then, we also have the opportunity to teach single lessons which are evaluated by the class in order to improve our method of teaching the French language . As a result of our efforts, we hope that We will be able to instill in children a love and understanding of the French language. Linda Bourque 7 O
