Register Grands Alexandria
For children from 7.5 to 12 years old
for complete beginners to 3 years of French
The class will be tailor made to the needs of children. We may have different levels of proficiency: children who are complete beginners are some who had French previously. Since the class is conversation oriented, more advanced children will be encouraged to talk more.
We may give different homework depending on the maturity and advancement of the students.
GRAND 1 - Sundays 11:15-12:45pm - Sept 13th to Nov 22nd - $375.
(no class Oct 11th and Nov 1st)
Curriculum
Each term combines a review of key concepts with new material and activities. This allows new students and complete beginners to join at the beginning of any term, while returning students continue to build on what they have already learned.
Because the class is taught through French immersion, children who already have some French but are not yet ready for Grands 2 can also benefit greatly from this level. They will strengthen their ability to form complete sentences, communicate more naturally, and gain confidence through regular exposure to spoken French.
Students will:
- Review essential vocabulary and basic sentences, including introductions, numbers, and colors.
- Learn useful sentences for everyday situations, with topics adapted to the level and interests of the group.
- Learn how to ask and answer simple questions.
- Talk about likes and dislikes, hobbies, activities, and other people's interests.
- Learn to describe daily routines and practice practical situations such as inviting a friend, buying something, or asking for directions.
-Develop speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills through role-playing, games, activities, and age-appropriate exercises.
Core vocabulary, including colors, numbers, body parts, clothing, animals, sports, and family, is reviewed regularly throughout the program to reinforce learning and help children retain what they have learned.
Each class is adapted to the students' level, needs, and progress, allowing children to develop their French skills at an appropriate pace.
Books
- You will receive a book recommendation upon your registration, or we will give you copies. The teachers may also use some other books (grammar, vocabulary etc...) to reinforce a point and will hand out copies. Please bring a binder, a notebook and pencils.
To learn the entire A1 curriculum, you will need to take all three/ four sessions planned over the year.
Parent Responsibility
Children attend class independently.
Parents accompany their child to the classroom at drop-off and pick-up.
As space is limited at our Alexandria location, parents are asked to remain outside the classroom during the lesson and stay nearby.
If a child is unable to participate appropriately, is repeatedly disruptive, or needs parental assistance, a parent or guardian may be asked to come and pick up their child before the end of class.
