Please read the Terms of Use.*** ***French target language display posters*** creating an instant introduction to ***40 commonly-used expressions in your French classroom***. The posters also give the learning environment a fabulous ***French*** look and feel, promoting ***French*** as a living language, featuring in the everyday life of your learners. They introduce learners to a range simple everyday language in ***French*** from the very beginning of their learning, and they are able to familiarize themselves with both the ‘look’ of ***French*** words, and how sounds are represented in the written form. The language is simple and effective, suitable for absolute beginners. I use the posters to ***promote use of the target language*** in contexts that we meet frequently and regularly, such as ***Asseyez-vous ! Levez la main ! and Qui a fini ?*** There are some greetings, such as ***Bonne journée ! and Bonjour tout le monde !*** It’s important to ***build routines in the languages classroom***, using only the ***target language***, and avoiding translating everything orally when we speak to learners. It’s easy to ***develop conversational routines*** too, starting with greetings, and asking how people are - I generally do this with ***talk time***, encouraging learners to ask each other how they are for example. The posters do show the ***English translation***, as I’ve found that this facilitates learner understanding initially, and certainly helps them feel more confident in the very early stages. I explain that the words do not necessarily match correctly, for example ***Quel jour sommes-nous ? literally means What day are we?*** but translating correctly means recreating meaning in the second language: ***in English, we ask What is the date today?*** This is really useful knowledge for both current and future learning. I also move the posters around a little in our first lesson, and give learners sheets with certain expressions in English, and they walk around looking for the corresponding expression in ***French***, writing it down on their sheet - I've included one of these in each set. I’ve found this to be a really successful way of getting learners to ***write and spell correctly in French***, again from the very beginning of their learning. I definitely focus a lot on ***pronunciation***, emphasizing that words often do not sound how they look - ***accurate pronunciation*** needs a lot of practice, and the written word can actually confuse learners unless we work on pronunciation and producing the accurate sounds of words, and look closely at ***linking spelling with sound***. ***The expressions in Set 1 are*:** Let's speak French; Hello everyone; Goodbye everyone; How are you?; I'm very well thanks; Sit down please; Stand up please; Look please; Listen please; Repeat please; Everyone together; Once again; Put your hands up; Don't shout out; Put your hands down; Quietly please; Stop please; Put your things away; Well done ***The expressions in Set 2 are*:** Do you understand?; Yes, I understand; A volunteer please; Let's start please; Put your pencils down; Open your workbooks; Close your workbooks; Who has finished?; I have finished; Louder please; Have a good day; Have a good weekend; Sit in a circle; What is your name?; My name is...; What is the date today?; The date us...; More quickly; More slowly; Very good There are two backgrounds to choose from - ***French flag*** or plain white to keep prep costs to a minimum, 80 posters in total. Laminate if possible: they will display really well, are far easier to manipulate as flashcards, and will remain in excellent condition for years. ***Have a browse in my store for more French resources, including special offer bundles and freebies.*** **MERCI BEAUCOUP ET BON APPRENTISSAGE !**
