University/College credit & running start programs

by Britt

Oct 17, 2013

Does anyone out there know of a reputable and secure university or college link program for high school students to earn college or university credit for French while attending high school on the western side of the U.S. (Pacific Northwest, Idaho, Montana)? We don't have enough students for our school to "support" a 4th year French class, and we ne...See More

Kim Maybe you could find them from a Canadian/Quebecois source? Sorry that I can't offer any concrete suggestions.

Mlle. R What kind of movies are you looking for? Check your DVDs, a lot of them have language options. I use Finding Nemo and Shrek in my French 1 classes sometimes. You can change the spoken language to French and put the subtitles in English (they are for the deaf, so they have the sounds and everything written out.) For a slightly harder version, you ca...See More

Grand Corps Malade/Inch'Allah

by Amna

Nov 6, 2013

I am introducing Grand Corps Malade this week. I was thinking of showing part of the video of Inch'Allah. Do you think it is appropriate to show in class? Do you think parents would get upset because it says "Allah?" I don't find anything wrong with it, but I just wanted to get some other opinions before I show it. Maybe I am worried over nothing, ...See More

Jarod HM I have shown the movie Inch'Allah Dimanche several times, and I have not had any problems. However, you know your populations better than I, so do what you think best. Let's us know how it goes.

michael I hope somebody can help me....

My school use to give the Regents and then the FLACS. This year we are not going to use the FLACS and will create our own exam.

Does any school not use the FLACS and if not, what is your procedure?? Do you submit it to any committee??

Do they still receive the Regent's credit??

Nat'l Boards Entry 2

by Mme P

May 3, 2014

Chers Collegues,

The May 16 deadline to submit my retake portfolios is looming and my fear of failure (again) is getting the best of me.

This is year 3 of the three year process and I'm at a loss as to what the evaluators want. Last year I redid Entry 3 and thought I had nailed it. I received the same score with the same comments...See More

Bien Dit level I

by GF

Apr 11, 2014

If you are using this textbook, what do you think of the plethora of errors? Today I discovered one on the workbook page 83, where it said, "….que Hélène…" Don't the editors know that is should be "…qu'Hélène"? Or how about "petit-déjeuner"? It's not hyphenated; they should be careful about such stuff. Did anyone proofread this before pu...See More

French 4 & 5

by KM

Feb 19, 2014

Hello all! This board is such a wonderful resource. Forgive me if this has already been asked, but this is my first year teaching upper level French (above level 3). I'm currently teaching levels 2, 3, 4, and 5. Levels 2 & 3 are using the textbook "Espaces" but we do not have an official text of any kind for levels 4 and 5. We've been reading o...See More

James in Belgium Greetings, I am an American Advanced Placement French teacher with students in their 4th to 6th year of secondary study of French. There is no one single text for the upper level courses. A small collection of thin books is needed. The following are all published by CLE International. They can be found on line in USA book stores such as Continental...See More

Anne I use intrigue by Elizabeth Blood from Pearson. I love the book. I used it in both level 4 and 5. It is an intrigue that keeps on going and progressively gets harder. It has grammar exercises build in which is nice for a quick review.

Mar 21, 2014

I'm a Spanish teacher currently studying French in the hopes of adding it to my certifications. I was just wondering if anyone could tell me what they felt the hardest part of the French Praxis was? I didn't take the Spanish Praxis (did the ACTFL tests instead)and I've heard a lot of people fail the Praxis tests for Foreign Language their first tim...See More

Jarod HM I took the old version when there was separate productive and content knowledge portions. I felt that the multiple choice was the most challenging since they asked very specific and somewhat random history and culture questions. My background is Francophone Africa, so I don't know as much about France as most American-born French teachers.
