 Re: Teaching English in French primary schools
Thanks Kevin. I will indeed have a look at "Get, Set Go", but I don't think the local inspectors / advisers would be too keen on the exclusive use of a commercial scheme and as a teacher I have always wanted to adapt and use my own materials. The European framework does provide a very good structure, so I use the framework to set objectives and then design activities around them. I have bought the "English for Primary Teachers" book by Mary Slattery and Jane Willis and have found lots of useful stuff there. I have also found this forum really useful for ideas for activities. As to the classroom - under this programme you are teaching for 2 x 45 minutes in the children's state school classroom. Of course good display is really important and I am able to put up temporary displays in the four classrooms that I work in, but in this instance you are working in another teacher's classroom so there is a limit to what you can do.
