Default Re: Teaching English in French primary schools

Hi All,
I just found this forum while searching for printable flashcards. I also just started teaching in three French Primary schools in November. So far, so good!! The kids are nice and I basically do whatever I want...I follow the curriculum suggested by the Inspection Academique, mostly oral/aural but we do write as the teachers said parents expected to see written work in the notebooks!!! I rely on TPR quite a bit..if you aren't familiar with this method of teaching language, maybe there are sites on the Internet. It works very well for many things...and allows you to remain in the target language. I try to avoid translation...and try to only speak French if there is much confusion about an activity.

Does anyone have a good method for oral evaluation? I try to keep track during question/response reviews and warm ups but it is difficult!

We have a "journee de formation" here in the Landes on March 12...I will be interested to see what type of information we receive
