Cool Tools to Help Your Students with French

Article

A recent Léger survey shows that French is the subject in which Quebec students have the most difficulty. Aware that teaching French can be a challenge, Alloprof offers a number of valuable resources designed to meet your specific needs.

Concept sheets

Alloprof provides concept sheets to help students learn or review key French concepts. These reference tools are ideal for a quick review before a test or to better illustrate concepts by projecting them on the IWB. They can also be used for homework and lesson review.

Exercises

As a teacher, making grammar and spelling lessons engaging is not always easy! Incorporating Alloprof’s interactive exercises into your classroom can help—no answer key needed. For instance, the vocabulary exercise dictates words for you so that your students can practise writing them.

Games

It is a well-known fact that game-based learning keeps students interested and motivated. There are many educational games on the Alloprof website where students can:

Videos

Alloprof’s video tutorials make it easy to learn and refresh French language skills and are an excellent way to liven up your lessons. Not only do they complement the concept sheets, but many of these videos are interactive, allowing students to answer questions as they go to check their understanding.

Printable tools

The Alloprof Teachers website offers printable handouts to help students practise various concepts. They include:

Help Zone and Ask a Teacher

The Help Zone is a free service where students can get help with their homework. All answers are either given or validated by real teachers. The service is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Similarly, Alloprof’s groundbreaking teacher text and phone service is an invaluable resource for students with French language difficulties. Our teachers take time Monday through Thursday from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. and Sunday from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. to explain concepts that students may be struggling with, free of charge!

Because the questions and answers are anonymous, moderated, and visible to everyone, the Help Zone forum is an excellent educational resource to help your students check their understanding through an interactive Q&A.
