D’après un entretien avec Henriette Walter, linguiste française.
Des mots comme radio, télévision ou hôtel sont compris partout. Cela permet une communication superficielle facile.
Cependant, chaque langue possède ses caractéristiques donnant lieu à des comportements spécifiques. Par exemple, un Allemand a moins tendance à couper la parole à son interlocuteur qu’un Français ou un Anglais.

As I mentioned in my previous post about story listening, I am part of an amazing group on Facebook called “CI Liftoff” where educators around the world are discussing about how to use pure comprehensible input in the language acquisition process.
I have started teaching French to a group of 3 girls aged 10 years old. They are native German but they have been attending a primary school where they were taught French intensively, it was like an immersion type of school so their level is very good.
This is a simple activity to do with Spanish beginners when you are teaching the alphabet: students create their own alphabet page by looking for words which start with each letter of the Spanish alphabet. This is the first year in my teaching career that I do this activity and I have found out that my grade 6 students (11-12 years old) had a lot of fun doing this.
It has been a challenging school year in terms of timetabling and workload but the one thing which I am very pleased with is that I have managed to write all the scope and sequence documents for all grades and levels (yeah!), which means I more or less know which topics and structures I am going to cover with my classes over the years!
