I am a French native teacher and I hold a PGCE Secondary French. I have taught French in Adult Education and in secondary schools for 20 years. My lessons are for absolute beginners to advanced students, for work, for leisure and for exam prep. I accept small groups of learners working at the same level. My favourite teaching method is structured questioning which, in my view, exploits students` natural language capability quite effectively. In short, my approach to effective MFL teaching and learning is essentially communicative with a strong focus on oracy before literacy. I always make sure that students use their newly acquired vocabulary in every lesson and demonstrate their understanding through speaking, listening, reading and writing. I assign homework after every lesson to reinforce learning.
