Hello I am a new French teacher and looking for suggested Lesson plans with the D'accord series and any resources that might help with structuring a 45 min lesson. Thanks
I have recently taken a position where I get to write head up creating French curriculum for French 2, 3, and 4. I have taught Spanish 1 and 2 for years so know more or less what to plan for levels 1, 2, and 3. However, I have not had to do any level 4 classes.

I have taught Spanish 1 and 2 for years so know more or less what to plan for levels 1, 2, and 3. However, I have not had to do any level 4 classes.
I wanted to know if anyone had any guides already created or know of any websites to go to that I can view to have an idea of what to plan or expect. At the time, I have no text books (and not even sure if I will be getting them) to help guide me through this.
Any ideas or help?
Does anyone teach without a textbook? I'm embarking on a new job that doesn't use a textbook and I'm really hoping they have literature for levels 3 and 4. Otherwise, any ideas? I'm going to use the internet a lot of course, and I have some beginning French lesson books from France I will use.
I am looking into T'es Branché textbook. Could you tell me if you have been satisfied if you are using it? Thanks!
Bonjour, I am looking for recent popular songs, French versions of American songs, or songs created for teaching.
I want to print the lyrics for students, but leave some of the words blank, and perhaps provide a word bank. Students will listen to the song once a day as a warm up, and try to fill in as many lyrics as they can each day. Eac...See MoreBonjour, I am looking for recent popular songs, French versions of American songs, or songs created for teaching.
I want to print the lyrics for students, but leave some of the words blank, and perhaps provide a word bank. Students will listen to the song once a day as a warm up, and try to fill in as many lyrics as they can each day. Each week would feature a different song.
Song titles would be sufficient, as I can find them online, but if you have a cool music resource site, please let me know! I have searched hello-world, but those short songs are not very useful for this activity.
Merci en avance!

I have acquired enough experience to understand very well the reasonings of how textbooks are put together, where the highly structured and sequence of grammar of USA textbooks may hinder language aquistion. The times and theories have changed.
I reccommend two deviations from your Year II textbook's grammar sequence. First, have you noticed how teachers over use the "futur proche". Therefore, I sugggest that you teach the simple future in the fall, before fall break or Halloween. This need be only a one week lesson. There after, speach becomes more natural. The added natural use of the simple future provides students extra time to assimilate this tense. Then, when they are taught the conditional, they will already know the stems.
The second departure from the plan is to teach a 5-day lesson on the "imparfait" not too long after having finised the "passé composé" in level II. I use Discovering French Blanc in year II. We finish unit 03 on foods before semester exams. Then, the first lesson of semester II is the first lesson on the "imparfait". Again, the extra time to use this grammar construction in natural contexts is an advantage to the students.
We continue the textbook's grammar progression there after. When we reach the second lesson on the "imparfait", this is a perfect review and also of the "P.C."
The future and imperfect tenses are key elements which allow students to read authentic materials. The sooner they are able to read, the sooner they will become independant learners. My approach is a step towards more modern methods. Try it; I am sure that you will like it.

I did not use the whole book, but I have piloted some of the chapters from the Level 1 book. While I enjoy how current the culture and language is, I found it a bit too challenging ...See More
