This semester the students in year 7 and 8 will be learning French using the AIM Language Learning program, “ Veux-tu danser?”.
The main goal of this program is to ensure that students are able to communicate fluently and confidently in both oral and written language , while they develop a love of language learning and pride in their second language skills.
The program is intended to accelerate the acquisition of French as a second language in authentic situations. The activities resemble those in any good language and literacy program, but they are adapted for the purpose of accelerating the development of a second language. There is nothing more effective than interactions in spontaneous classroom contexts, discussions about stories, creative drama and story telling. These form the basis for the content of ‘ Salut mon ami !“ and give students the opportunity to connect emotionally to the content of their French as a Second/ Foreign Language course.
