Teaching French Miss Kelsey Lademan Albion College 2012Jackson High School
Importance of Foreign Language Education
Developing skills needed to prosper in 21st century
Cognitive benefits of foreign language study Academic benefits Benefiting low-income children
Specific Skills in Learning French
Reading Writing Speaking Listening Cultural Knowledge Responsibilities
Philosophy of Teaching Fostering a community of learning - Constructing a safe environment - Maintaining mutual and self respect - Promoting student-student interactions
Why Classroom Management?
My student teaching experience Jackson High School - Target class: French 1-A (2nd and 4th hour) - French 2-A and French 3/4-C One challenge after another - Consistently disrespectful - Classroom set-up
In other words…
Discipline: Consequences versus Punishments
Punishment: - Does not serve as a learning purpose. Consequences: - Constructive outcome: an end result of a child’s
inappropriate act.
“I can wait” Planned wait time - Students quiet themselves - Students become leaders - Lesson moves at a faster pace “Even though it seems like you are wasting valuable
instruction time waiting for students to be done speaking out of turn. When in fact, planned wait
time will eventually increase the time you have to teach.”
“Notes again? We always take notes in this class!”
Problems I encountered • Students not taking notes
My solution - More engaging methods of note taking • VoiceThread • ‘Engaging’ PowerPoints • Bring my personality to class

Student Responses
I didn’t get what we went over yesterday and people weren’t talking during your video today so I understood it better.
You’re notes are a little too fast and this went slow enough that I understood.
This wasn’t very helpful because I understood the notes on definite and indefinite articles that we took yesterday
It was cool. It’s nice having something new.
Bring ‘Yourself’ to the Classroom
I am unique and I bring my personality every day to my classroom.
“Mademoiselle Lademan. You’re like, right out of a Harry Potter
book.”
“Miss Lademan… more like Miss
Badaman.”
“I can relate to you. I feel like there are so many teachers I can’t relate to, but you are yourself an that makes me feel more comfortable in class.”
Communication Establishing relationships Highlighting strengths before, and after
addressing weaknesses Proactive counsel I CARE. I did CARE. I will CARE. I CARE
The Big Picture Foreign language study benefits the
generations that will soon be running our more globalized nation.
In order for students to develop foreign language communication skills, they need to be involved in a positive learning community.
