French in the Primary School is an ideas and activities resource for teachers and teaching assistants, regardless of their linguistic competence. It is particularly suited to those who have no or little prior experience of language teaching.

Angela McLachlan presents a resource bank of games and activities to enhance the teaching and learning experience for children aged 7-11, to engage and motivate the young learner, and to promote sound language learning in the primary classroom.

Each game and activity is linked to: Oracy (listening and speaking), Literacy (reading and writing), Knowledge about language, Intercultural understanding and contact, and Language-learning strategies. An audio guide is provided to guide both teachers and learners in their pronunciation, together with downloadable worksheets and a vocabulary bank.

Reviews for French in the Primary Classroom: Ideas for Busy Teachers

Non-linguist teachers of primary French will find a wealth of ideas, information and activities in this book to enable them to feel secure, knowledgeable and ready to teach. Teachers are guided to websites and other resources and provided with helpful cultural information and points about grammar and vocabulary as well as lesson ideas, project suggestions and teaching tips. There are, in the author's own words 'games galore'. More experienced and specialist teachers will find many ideas to extend their own teaching repertoire. This is a fun yet serious book that promotes quality language teaching and learning. <br> Dr Jane Jones, Head of MFL Teacher Education King's College London. November 2008--Dr Jane Jones
