Don't know if this post is still relevant but...

Post common sayings around the room--you and your students can
refer to them. Directions--also try showing them--e.g. open
the book and you open the book,etc. Say it in French and
English or use English as needed. As you use French, you will
start feeling more comfortable and will use it more in the
classroom.

Do you have a projector? You can prepare a list before class
to use to ask questions---or put a list of words on the board
and ask questions based on your word list.

Start each class asking questions--all the basics--If you
haven't taught these yet, use topics you have covered--day,
date, weather, name, birthdate, age, from where, nationality,
Who is ? Description of a person, Likes, etc? Students will
be excited that they can have a conversation in French

Hope this helps
