The children start learning French in Year 2. The method used throughout the School
is a complete language course called ‘La Jolie Ronde’.
Children learn French through a diversity of oral and practical activities with the
addition of reading and writing as they progress through the course. Through fun,
young children learn how to communicate in French. Through role-play, children
gain confidence and learn to overcome problems. They use vocabulary appropriate to
their age, knowledge and understanding of the world in a variety of interesting and
authentic contexts. In teaching the children the basics of French, they also learn about
the country itself, its geography and its culture.
There is a course book for each year. The books teach the children to think in a
logical way and to refer to previous work. The books are a record that can be kept for
reference and give the children a sense of achievement. The learning of French also
encourages the children’s awareness of their own language.
Additional resources to accompany the course are also available, such as, CDs and a
CD-ROM.
