Getting Started: Asking the right

questions

How much help do I need?

I already have an idea, but I will

probably need more help than I

think.

I already have a Blackboard page

that I will be developing.

How do I like to teach?

I prefer small and large group discussions.

I use Youtube and other audio-visual

tools to make language learning more interesting.

There are a lot of resources online for learning French the fun way, so I use those as well.

I don’t lecture much, but do use

PowerPoint to explain grammar points and talk

about the French and Francophone

cultures.

How do I want things to be organized?

There should be one

folder per week, just like for our POT class.

I will be organizing

the weeks in Blackboard.

The first page should be a short

summary of the syllabus

and what students should

expect from the course.

Everything should be

linked, otherwise

will students get lost.
