My Students

Africa, the Caribbean, Louisiana, New England, Canada, Europe, Tahiti...These are some of the world cultures that are being opened to students in our French classes. As we study their language, we study their history, their present and have an eye on their future.

As they prepare for life after high school in an ever-shrinking world, my students are choosing to expand their minds through learning a second language, and experience the cultures of those who speak it.

They are eager to drink it all in, and as they do, they learn to understand not only how other peoples live and think, they are better able to understand their own culture and language.

My Project

Research has shown that using a language is better facilitated when students must use it for communicative purposes, when students are highly motivated to do so, and when anxiety levels regarding performance are low. We will use the breakout boxes to provide both the need and the motivation to communicate in a low-anxiety setting, as students use the second language to progress in their resolution of the puzzle.

Students will work in small groups to solve the puzzle of the box for that day.

I will be able to use scenarios or puzzles already created (or ones that I create myself) to highlight different sets of vocabulary or topics in a fun and captivating way. As we get to know the breakout process better, I hope to be able to engage my higher level students in developing breakout puzzles and accompanying instructions for the lower level students to use, or even to post for students in other schools to use, thus allowing the higher students to not only use their French, but to do so in a meaningful, real-life project!
