With “Tête à Tête” from Editions Nouvelle Ecole:
For students who wish to study French at a slower pace:
(most popular textbook among my French students)
We follow the book, introducing new words and grammar points.
At first, I ask questions. Then, it is the student’s turn to ask questions.
We continue to the exercises.
With “Séjour” from Editions Nouvelle Ecole:
A fast-paced method, for students who will shortly be traveling to a French-speaking country:
We start with the second page, introducing new vocabulary and grammar:
We then go to the first page (from the lesson 2, it is usually a dialogue).
Here, we practice using the new words and sentences.
From the lesson 2, I read the dialogue, then the student reads it too.
Sometimes, the student doesn’t understand a grammar point or a word, so I explain it.
After that, I ask questions (about one question for each sentence).
Then, it is the student ‘s turn to asks question.
We continue to the exercises.
With “Mon Quartier” from Editions Nouvelle Ecole:
For students who wish to study French with a very faster pace,
with emphasis on conversation and grammar:
We follow the book, introducing new words and grammar points.
At first, I ask questions. Then, it is the student’s turn to ask questions.
We continue to the exercises.
