Learning a new language at an early age leads to an effortless pathway to creating a bilingual or trilingual child. Our French language
classes for Kids & Teens are taught in an age-appropriate setting and non threatening environment, where students learn in fun ways.
With only 5 to 8 students per class our instructors provide students conversational and contextual learning through stories, games,
songs, and age appropriate activities.
This after-school French club is designed for 11-14-year-olds who are complete or false beginners. The emphasis in A1.1 is on very basic
conversational skills. At the end of the semester, students will be able to introduce themselves and others; they will be able to talk about
their family, and express personal likes and dislikes. Culturally, they will learn about French greetings, French holidays, the names and
geographic locations of various Francophone countries.
At this level, students will develop conversational, pronunciation, grammar and writing skills. They will expand their cultural knowledge
while reading the comic strip version of Victor Hugo’s Les Misérables. Upon completing Génies A2.1.3, students will be able to talk about
their family, their friends, their school schedule, their hobbies as well as Victor Hugo’s life. They will be able to describe people,
objects, cities, stores, etc.
The objective of this class is to develop listening, reading, speaking, confidence in oral expression and knowledge of culture. Because
language learning necessarily includes a cultural component, in this class students will learn about French and Francophone cultures and
current events.
This class is designed for 12-15 year olds with some experience in French. The instructor will use a combination of games, songs, group work
and direct instruction to introduce students to the basics of French. Though students will do some reading and writing, the focus of this
class is on building conversational skills.
There is no textbook required for this class.
Please note, this class requires 5 students minimum to start.
