What I have done with my younger students in order to provide them with an authentic situation to use the French language, we visited our sister secondary school where we prepared interview questions to ask them. All students participating (interviewers and interviewees) were students who were learning French. It was a great opportunity for my students to practice their basic level of French and listen to someone other than me speaking in French!]]> 2022-03-03 16:28:56 UTC https://padlet.com/coe_education/yori0l9e8e36szn3/wish/2076182039 In contexts where students have a higher capacity they may be able to direct their questions toward specific areas of interest, and even locate people to interview who have a particular field of knowledge that is interesting to the interviewer. https://padlet.com/coe_education/yori0l9e8e36szn3/wish/2076186664 2022-03-03 16:31:11 UTC https://padlet.com/coe_education/yori0l9e8e36szn3/wish/2076186664 Finding the people to interact with is crucial. Maybe not so easy on-line. https://padlet.com/coe_education/yori0l9e8e36szn3/wish/2076188991 2022-03-03 16:32:18 UTC https://padlet.com/coe_education/yori0l9e8e36szn3/wish/2076188991 The exercise depends on the context, it could be for younger children or for young adults. https://padlet.com/coe_education/yori0l9e8e36szn3/wish/2076189310 2022-03-03 16:32:27 UTC https://padlet.com/coe_education/yori0l9e8e36szn3/wish/2076189310 Anastasia https://padlet.com/coe_education/yori0l9e8e36szn3/wish/2076192008 For the Encounter project to be meaningfull I feel that the student/learner of a second language must have acheived a certain level within that language in order to feel comfortable to conduct a conversation. Authentic situations can motivate children to try more in order to communicate.]]> 2022-03-03 16:33:15 UTC https://padlet.com/coe_education/yori0l9e8e36szn3/wish/2076192008
