After a year of learning French in English schools 11- year olds were asked what happened when they saw the written French words for the first time “The letters are all muddled.” “I can’t say all the words.” “A lot of French are pronounced differently to how they’re spelled, just a bit weird they are.” “It’s scrambled.” “It doesn’t sound like it’s written.” “ When they’re on the board, they look like a different word than what you’ve been repeating.”
Teaching and learning words and phrases in the Foreign Language Classroom in England MEANING Grapheme Phoneme Written/printedword Sounds of words
Pupils often find it really difficult to read unfamiliar words aloud, because they are unable to pronounce them. • This is READING IMPAIRMENT. Add pronunciation problems and you have SPEECH DEFECTS.

Some sounds in French are very like English • Some sounds in French are definitely not English: • Eau • Montagne • Tu • Vous • Lapin • Bon
Why ? • To improve listening skills in all areas of the curriculum • To aid pronunciation, not the same as accent • To help reinforce English phonemes/graphemes through comparing and contrasting • To link sounds with spellings to support reading in the target language
How do I introduce phonics? • You might choose to focus on just one or two sounds per term or unit • Use the opportunity to exploit the comparison with English
Progression in phonics • Hear and identify the sound • Repeat and produce the sound • Practise the sound • Distinguish the sound • Link graphemes to sound • Move to syllable, word & sentence level NOW FOR THE ACTIVITIES… 1 - 9
