Hi, my name's Carrie. I love languages and how they help us connect. I studied French and Spanish for my bachelor's degree, and foreign language teaching for my master's. I've spent time living in France, Colombia, and South Korea, and I taught French and Spanish at the middle and high school level for seven years, and have tutored learners of all ages. I love languages, and am excited to share them with you!

This is not a typical worksheet for practicing numbers in French. Instead of rote translation, students complete simple addition problems (quatre + quatre = __) and greater than/less than problems (deux __ quatre) that require them to think through the French vocabulary for numbers 0-100.

Learning sight words is an important strategy for students learning to read—in any language. When a reader recognizes a sight word automatically, they don’t have to stop and try to decode the word. Reading is faster, smoother, and the reader can focus on the meaning of the text and on decoding more difficult words. The result? Their ability to get information out of what they read improves (not to mention frustration going down and confidence going up).
This bundle of resources focuses on French sight words, specifically the 100 most common word sets (including verb conjugations) in the language. Frequent manipulation of the words helps students learn them. To that end, this bundle includes the following resources:
• An introductory document
• A document to create a “word wall”
• A student packet
This document includes each of the 100 words as well as space for students to write the meaning of the word next to it. This allows students to have a packet with all the words for reference and study.
• Ten PowerPoint presentations
Each presentation presents 10 of the 100 words, showing the word (numbered to match the student packet), its use in context, then its English meaning. This is followed by slides that show only the vocabulary words (so the teacher can review them with students) and a projection to play “The Flyswatter Game.”
• Ten review worksheets
After one of the PowerPoint presentations helps students practice a set of 10 words in class, the corresponding worksheet is intended as take-home practice for those same 10 words.
As students manipulate these words, you will see improvement in their reading ability as well as in their confidence as they approach the written word.

Authentic language? Check. Gets students speaking? Check. An element of fun? That, too. This resource engages students in the naval battle game similar to Battleship, allowing even beginners to communicate exclusively in Spanish. Players use numbers and letters to play–perfect to get beginning students speaking, listening, and understanding Spanish. Students play in pairs, which means everyone uses the language. This is a great info-gap activity to get beginning students speaking confidently.
I use this resource in the first weeks of junior high and high school Spanish I, as soon as we’ve covered the alphabet and numbers. I love getting students speaking right from the beginning.

Research has shown that one of the best ways for students to improve their reading proficiency is simply by reading. What they read, however, matters. The best material for students to improve their reading proficiency is material they choose themselves, as that's what they are most interested in and motivated to read.
This reading goal was designed with that research in mind. Teachers of any target language can give this assignment, since it can be customized to the target language as well as student needs. Teachers simply need to change the title of the assignment and the name of the target language on lines 1 and 2. After that, there is space where the number of minutes assigned and assignment due date can be filled in by students when the assignment is given.
The reading log is designed to span four weeks. It asks students to document information about the material read as well as self-assessing comprehension. The assignment also asks for a parent signature.
I suggest students start this kind of target-language independent reading at an intermediate level of language study. I first assign it to French III students midway through the year as well as assigning it to advanced classes.
It is my goal that this simple tool will help students improve their reading proficiency as well as the enjoyment they gain from reading in their target language.
Paying attention to the learning process helps learners improve, and that’s what these tools are for. These research-based self-assessment resources let students learn how to help themselves improve, particularly in speaking and listening activities. There are also tools to help you give feedback. Included in this bundle of resources are the following:
• Listening Guide
• Presentational Speech Self-Assessment
• Speaking Activity Teacher Assessment
• Speaking Activity Self-Assessment
• Emotional Temperature Chart
• Speaking Focus Signs
