Structured InputReviewPresent one thing at a time.Keep meaning in focus. Move from sentences to connected discourseUse both oral and written input.Have learner do something with input. Keep learners processing strategies in mind.Source: Lee and VanPatten (2003)
Games and activities that focus students on adjective formsword recognition (before production).
Oral differentiation: mcher le moustiqueput pictures of a male and a female celebrity on the board. Make sure to include francophone personalities. Students mchent the appropriate picture as you call out various adjective forms. After students have learned plural forms add pictures to the game.
Written differentiation: Paper bag relayattach pictures two/four paper bags representing m.s, m.p. f.s., f.p. Prepare identical sets of adjectives in various forms on two different colored papers. Divide the class into teams. Students take turns pulling an adjective out of the pile and running to place it in the appropriate bag. The first team to finish wins but dont forget to check accuracy! Games and Activities: Simple phrase production1. Devinez: Mount pictures of famous peopleboth French and American on note cards. Put students in small groups and give them a stack of cards. Taking turns, a student draws a card and orally describes the personality traits of people. Other students guess the identity of the person.2. Person in the middle: Arrange the students desks in a circle leaving one students desk in the middle. Model the game by starting in the middle. Write the following sentences on the board. Je cherche des amis qui sont(add an adj.)Je cherche des amis qui ne sont pas(add an adj.)Students who fit the descriptions have to get up and find a new desk. The student left in the middle produces the next sentence. Output ideasSimple sentences using pop culture pairs (written/oral)
Assign students an pop-culture pair. If students are not familiar with the pair they should do some internet research (either in French or English depending on level.) I have students find an image and print it. Students then create five sentences describing each item/person etc. Ils sont comment?Ive included some ideas for popular pairs but the possibilities are limitless.Students then present their sentences to the class.
Les paires populairesTaylor Swift-Amel BentRomeo and Juliette-Paul et valrieAmerican Idol-Nouvelle StarJohnny Depp-Jean-Claude Van dammeAudrey Tautou-Jennifer AnnistonLance Armstrong-Jeannie LongoAstrix-SupermanMcDonalds-le Quickapple pie-tarte aux fraises, choux la crmeCarla Bruni-Michelle ObamaNicolas Sarkozy-Barack ObamaLa Tour Eiffel-Golden Gate BridgeMarilyn Monroe-Brigette BardotGloria Vanderbelt-Coco Chanel
Things to consider:
Adjective input can be tailored to refer specifically to the popular pairs.With more advanced learners, input can focus more on irregular adjectives and adjectives that come before the noun. (Example included in handout.) How could this grammar lesson be adapted to teach physical descriptions? the comparative? Other things?
How do we teach grammar?Explicitly (first example)Indirect explicit instruction: An invitation to discover rules for themselves. The 3 IsIllustration: looking at dataInteraction: discussion hypothesesInduction: Positing a rule for a particular pattern or regularity in the datasource: McCarthy and Carter, 1994Leon 2On savait: La Grande Sophiepour enseigner limparfait (see lesson in handout)
