What makes Teachers Talking French special?
Teachers Talking French is a simple and straightforward audio-only course. There are no books and no written tasks.

All the language featured in the recordings is directly linked to the context of the primary classroom, for example:

  • names of classroom objects provide the context for work on gender;
  • classroom instructions provide the context for work on the imperative form of verbs;
  • looking ahead at the coming lesson provides the context for work on the future tense and for expressions of sequencing (d’abord, ensuite, après etc.);
  • teacher modelling provides the context for work on the first person singular of the present tense;
  • looking back over the lesson provides the context for work on the past tense.
 

Teachers Talking French is much, much more than a classroom phrasebook!

The recordings are designed to help teachers:

  • work things out;
  • improve their pronunciation;
  • build their own sentences;
  • compare the grammar and structure of French and English;
  • develop strategies for communicating clearly and effectively - often with just a little language;
  • practise and then use what has been taught;
  • recycle their learning in new contexts.

In addition to the audio lessons, listeners are also able to hear all items of language expertly pronounced.
