Teaching Foreign Languages / ESL

It's hard enough for teachers to fit all their marking, extra-curricular duties and training into their lives, let alone finding time to think up exciting new ways of delivering their subject to a mixed-ability class. Resources for Teaching French 14-16 provides complete, curriculum-friendly lesson plans for busy secondary school teachers. This resource comprises an assortment of 80 lesson plans designed to motivate and inspire students. Each plan consists of a teacher's sheet including: - the aims and objectives of the lesson, - the materials required, - a lesson starter, main lesson plan and plenary, each with suggested timeframes to help teachers keep inside the parameters of the lesson, - homework ideas, and - further reading and useful websites. Each plan also includes a photocopiable, or downloadable student worksheet that corresponds to the teacher's lesson plan. Audio files for the listening exercises, and all the worksheets are available online.

Intended to help teachers and teacher trainers develop an understanding of French discourse that is grounded in recent theoretical and sociolinguistic research, this book is devoted to informing teachers-in-training, as well as experienced teachers, about cutting-edge methods for teaching grammar.
