This is a poster or a handout for students books or to go on the classroom wall. It is classroom instructions in French e.g. hand out the books, sit down, put your hand up etc. It can be useful for students to help support them to understand their teacher, it can also be useful for teachers to remind them to speak more French during the lesson.
Building a strong vocabulary is essential for excelling in any language. Whether you’re learning a new language or looking to expand your word bank, these tips will help your students master vocabulary efficiently and enjoyably.
I have kept this deliberately so that it can be used for any language, French, German, Spanish, English. I’ve used it with them all and just do the tasks in the language I am teaching.
It’s tips and strategies to help learn vocabulary. Can be used as a whole lesson, part of a lesson or as a revision segment.
