I have been teaching French for X years, both at the high school level and as a language assistant in a bilingual elementary school. I have experience creating lesson plans and assessments, as well as leading class discussions and activities that engage students in the language and culture of France.

I believe that technology is a valuable tool for language learning. I make use of online resources such as Quizlet and Duolingo for vocabulary practice, and I incorporate videos and songs to supplement my lessons and help students become more immersed in the language. I also use online discussion boards to encourage student communication in French outside of class.

One of my most successful activities is a French cultural fair where students work in groups to research and present on a specific region or aspect of French culture. This project allows students to apply their language skills and deepen their understanding of the culture. It also allows for a lot of creativity and student choice. It has always been a very positive experience for my students and myself.

I differentiate instruction by using a variety of techniques such as flexible grouping, scaffolding, and independent practice. I also use formative assessments to monitor student progress and adjust my teaching to meet the needs of each student. I also provide extra support and resources for students who need it, such as additional practice materials or one-on-one tutoring.

In my previous French class, there was a student who was consistently disrupting class and not following the classroom rules. I addressed the issue by speaking with the student privately and setting clear expectations for behavior. I also worked with the student to come up with a plan for how they could improve their behavior. Through consistent communication and follow-up, the student was able to turn their behavior around and become a productive member of the class.

I believe that parental involvement is crucial to student success. I communicate regularly with parents and guardians through email, phone calls, and parent-teacher conferences. I also send out weekly updates on what we are covering in class and any upcoming assignments or tests. I also make sure to invite them to attend class events such as presentations and cultural fairs.
