Goals

My first goal is to build a French program that fosters language learning in a natural way.  Students will be immersed in a language-rich environment that is fun, creative, and personalized.  They will acquire vocabulary and grammar in context by listening to stories, singing songs, creating gestures, playing with props, and competing in games.  A nurturing classroom will prepare them to express themselves with confidence in a new language.  

My second goal is to stick to the ACTFL recommendation of staying in the target language 90% of the time. This is especially important because students will only have French twice a week for less than 30 minutes.  I want them to get the most out of our time together.
