FSL FLE PRIMARY FRENCH IMMERSION FRENCH FOR CHILDREN BEGINNER FRENCH VOCABULARY DAYS, MONTHS, SEASONS LIST FREEBIE I like to ensure my beginner French students are able to build a comprehensive French vocabulary bank from the beginning of their learning, and create a whole range of reference lists focusing on high-frequency French vocabulary. The list is ideal as a year-round reference resource, and students find it useful for working in class time or at home. It's also useful for beginner French students to provide a language learning map, and as a vocabulary audit and enrichment. This kind of reference resource works well when students keep them carefully in learning binders or folders for current and future reference. They also work well printed double-sided and laminated for small-group work in class. The vocabulary list also shows some plurals and related vocabulary that students are able to use in communicative contexts straightaway, such as au printemps and en hiver. It's really useful for students to know the correct prepositions for these kinds of sentences, which really does help to promote speaking in the classroom, and enables students to produce more detailed and descriptive language. This is an integral element to successful language learning. Students shouldn't take on the task of learning long lists of vocabulary all at once though: frequent and regular use in real-world practical contexts is far more successful at embedding vocabulary into longer-term memory. With this particular set of vocabulary there are many cognates and near-cognates, which helps embed the vocabulary too. I also use the list for quick vocabulary quizzes, again at frequent and regular intervals - I simply shout out the French or English word, the first student or team to shout out the correct answer wins a point. I've found this to be a really successful alternative to more formal vocabulary testing. The list is a great time-saver for teachers too - if you're preparing resources for your students focusing on French days, months and seasons, and a range of related vocabulary, the list is a good starting point. There are two backgrounds to choose from - French flag, which I generally use for French vocabulary display or French grammar display, and plain. Try this freebie too - the content is a little less detailed, and is in a box format: FRENCH DAYS MONTHS SEASONS LIST FREEBIE #1 Have a look at this set of 36 differentiated task cards focusing on dates, days, months and seasons in French: FRENCH DATES DAYS MONTHS & SEASONS : 36 DIFFERENTIATED TASK CARDS There's a free set too: FRENCH DATES DAYS MONTHS & SEASONS : 12 DIFFERENTIATED TASK CARDS FREEBIE Have a browse in my store for more French vocabulary reference lists, and a wide range of other French teaching and learning resources, with French dollar deals, special offer bundles and lots of freebies.
