French Classes for children 2010
The Alliance Française is part of a worldwide network of
more than 1200 independent associations linked to the Alliance Française in
To this aim, The Alliance Française de Nelson is coordinating French Classes
for small groups of children from six to eleven years old. Children gain a lot
of benefits from learning a foreign language. This initiation will enhance
their intellectual development and their way of thinking, increase their
sensitivity to sounds and intonation, improve their command of their own
language and open their minds to other cultures … to list only a few.
The
lessons will include speaking, listening and writing through games, songs and
role-play based on a range of topics (my friends, my house, animals, food…).
Children will learn words with emphasis on pronunciation, basic grammatical
structures and some everyday brief conversations (greetings, a few words about
themselves…). Explanations will be in English.
Regular
attendance at the French lessons is necessary to make progress.
After
2 years of successful lessons, we wish to continue with the existing classes
and to start new classes for newcomers. The dates for 2010 will be:
