La raison d’être:
Using the best policies, principles and practices of the Montessori Method of early childhood education, this class is designed to:
- To take advantage of the uniquely absorbent nature of the very young child to receive and retain another language concurrently with the native tongue.
- Isolate the aural and oral qualities (vocabulary, idiomatic expressions, physical properties of word formation, etc.)
- Utilise Un Peu du Français to its fullest
Le technique:
Accomplish the above using:
- Mr. Grenouille
- daily music and lyrics of traditional and contempory children’s’ music in French,
- daily short story or chapter reading
- games (Ou se trouve? Lotto, etc.)
- marionette theater for children’s dialogue in French
- employing the Montessori materials while speaking in French (very simple sentences at first)
