The written portion of any language is perhaps the most difficult to perfect, and often the part of the language that is developed last in a learner's language learning journey. It is often the component that is most often taught in a traditional way focusing on grammar and spelling instruction, which can often be boring and difficult. Because of this, learners are not often confident in their writing abilities in a language. The resources provided here give students the tools they need to build confidence in their writing abilities by allowing them to edit their work, choose proper vocabulary and check if their wording makes sense.
BonPatron is an online spelling and grammar checker for French. The site also includes guides for grammar, vocabulary, phonetics, and a verb conjugator. Learners can track mistakes that they continuously make and make the conscious effort to learn and fix those errors in their own writing. This tool will also give learners more confidence in showing their writing to others.
The DeepL Translator is a free machine translation service that is more accurate and nuanced than other translation tools. This is because of it's ability to take information from it's users to provide more accurate translations. Learners can use this tool to verify their French writing by translating it back into English to see how well they did with their writing.
Linguee is an online bilingual dictionary that provides translations for many words and even some sentences. The difference between Linguee and other translation sites is that it offers various translation options based on context. This will help increase learner confidence in choosing the appropriate word for the context in which they are writing.
