Semaine Sept (7): Revue

Objectifs

1. You will show to your classmates what you have learned in French.
2. You will comment on someone's learning using SLA jargon.


Activités 

1. You will make a video in which you show the objectives you have mastered. Do not use any paper when or do not write anything since the objective is for you to show what you have actually learned.

2. Once your classmates published their videos, you will watch two of them and make a comment in which you show you are able to connect SLA theory and real world evidence. For example, you can comment about crosslinguistic influences and explain how your classmates' L1 or L2 influences the target language (French or Spanish).

3. After reading the chapter for this week on motivation and watching the videos, you will write a short reflection about the type of motivation you had when you chose to learn the target language and how it has changed during the process. Make clear connections between theory and your experience by citing.

Semaine 6: La Routine

Objectifs: This week you will

1. describe the activities that you usually do and ask someone about his/her routine.

2. use verbs that describe daily routines in the first person.

Activities
1. Daily Routines. Listen to the vocabulary. Practice and memorize it.

2. La routine. Listen and repeat. See how many words you are able to say correctly. Test your memory.

3. Une chanson to learn vocabulary. Music is commonly use to learn vocabulary. Try this song and see if it helps you remember vocabulary. Are you familiar with the original song?

4. Le quotidien. Study the vocabulary, particularly what applies to you.

5. You will make a list of ten sentences about your daily routine and ask someone who is fluent in French. You may want to do this activity with another French learners.

Vous: Je me réveille à sept heur tous les matins, et toi?

Votre ami(e): Moi? Je me réveille à cinq heur.

Devoirs: This week, you will reflect on your language learning process, particularly in how your brain has reacted to the new vocabulary, particularly the one you attempted to learn this week. You will discuss if teachers need to give students all the verb conjugations or if they should allow more interaction among learners using the first person and a simple question with "and you? (et toi?).  You may also discuss how many words you have been able to learn to say correctly in French and to use in real contexts. You should comment on weather or not you have found yourself making cheat sheets to have right in front of you while you make the videos. Have you written the script and then read it aloud? Why is that? Why do learners tend to do that? How has your memory impacted your learning process? What connections can you make to ideas discussed by scholars in the readings or videos?

You can make the reflection in writing or on a video.
