Tired of monsters? Try the FSF1D Monster Unit using a CEFR lens Beverly Kukhta-Jackson Hamilton-Wentworth District School Board OMLTA, November, 2013
Qu’est-cequec’estqu’unmonstre? This workshop will outline how to adapt the Monster Unit from our old program to better suit CEFR “l’approcheactionnelle” and the revised curriculum with an emphasis on oral interaction and integrating language structures in a practical, fun way. The theme: Qu’est-cequec’estqu’unmonstre?
Le but d’apprentissage Nous apprenons comment employer nosressourcesdansunefaçon plus communicative.
Bev’s background • over 20 years experience teaching Core and Immersion French - applied and general and academic, mostly secondary, some elementary • department head, Special Assignment, facilitator • Westdaleis a semestered school - 75 minute periods • program used: Sans Frontières& stuff I borrow & adapt & share • Co-author of TuParles 1, RK Publishing
l’approcheactionnelle Action-oriented and communicative approaches to teaching FSL focus on meaning over form; emphasize meaningful interactive activities; centre on communicative language needs; and, when possible, highlight authentic tasks within the context of a classroom environment. While the communicative approach centres on communicating in the target language, the action-oriented approach requires students to perform a task in a wider social context. (pg. 31 Ontario Min. of Ed. FSL revised curriculum, elementary, 2013)
Vision and Goals for French as a Second Language Core, Extended, and Immersion, Grades 1 to 12(Ontario Min. of Ed. FSL revised curriculum, elementary, 2013) Vision Goals Students will communicate and interact with growing confidencein French, one of Canada’s official languages, while developing the knowledge, skills, and perspectives they need to participate fully as citizens in Canada and in the world In all French as a second language programs, students realize the vision of the FSL curriculum as they strive to: • Use French to communicateand interacteffectively in a variety of social settings • Appreciate and acknowledge the interconnectedness and interdependence of the global community
Life-long language learning One of the 7 enduring ideas of revised FSL curriculum: • Authentic Oral Communication: Reception, Production, and Interaction (pg.10 Ontario Min. of Ed. FSL revised curriculum, elementary, 2013)
La lecture • Sans Frontières: Les Monstres à travers les siècles - photocopied - pre-reading discussion, then used 3 colours of highlighters - one for words that resemble English, one for words that you already know in French, and the third for words that you will need to look up in dictionary. • Checked dictionary words (wrote definitions on side of page), then read in groups and answered questions. • Talked briefly about how monsters reflect the fears of society.
Sans Frontières • listening activity/handout - Le rêve du monstre - followed by speaking/writing - questions • reading/speaking activity/handout: Les monstres, çat'amuse? • écoute - des descriptions des monstres - Finished handout in groups - vocabulary development • écoute - Le loup à la porte & Les dents de la mer – formative assessments • écoute: la Lagune noire - assessed
