Foreign Languageat the Elementary School Fostering languageSkills and CulturalUnderstanding
|
| Research continues to demonstrate that
when children are exposed to a second language, they become fluent
quickly and develop an appreciation for the other culture which
lasts a lifetime. Young elementary students (K-2nd graders) naturally engage in songs,
movements, games, craft projects...all in French. In such a unique immersion environment, the children have the opportunity
to appropriate the new language in a very natural and gentle manner. Instruction at FRENCHFORFUN is very sensorial. Listening
being the most important language skill at this early stage of language
development. The children are never forced to speak, just listen.
Speaking comes gradually when the child is ready. For a discussion
on the benefits of FLES* and what it can do for your child go HERE. In addition to our lessons, the children celebrate throughout the
year, the many holidays French speaking families around the world
enjoy. We cook, we eat, we clean, |
