Description
The J.N. PAQUET™ FRENCH METHOD is a method mainly aimed at English speaking adults – be they natives or second language speakers – who, whether they have previous knowledge of the French language or not, want to learn it with a seamless yet first-class effective method.
The method can be used by teachers in a school, by freelance teachers, by private tutors and by students as well.
WHY LEARNING FRENCH WITH THIS METHOD?
Whether the students are new to the language or not, what should their teacher teach them? Research tells us that students must be actively involved in engaging material to retain new material. The J.N. PAQUETâ„¢ FRENCH METHOD does just that. It was conceived with the simple idea that students learn more and better when they repeat often what they learn, and when the lessons are both entertaining and current.
WHAT IS THE CONCEPT OF THE METHOD?
The general concept of the J.N. PAQUETâ„¢ FRENCH METHOD is a hierarchy of importance of what the students ought to learn in order to have a very good understanding of the French language, as well as good speaking, reading and writing practice.
The general implementing concept is through the learning of current and modern French vocabulary, the study of the grammar, the practice of questions & answers, the reading of texts and the practice of dictations.
With the J.N. PAQUETâ„¢ FRENCH METHOD students will be able to learn the French language in no time. They will be both focused and interested in the lessons for the method provides the teachers with opportunities to both motivate and engage their students and make them feel proud of their accomplishments.
The keywords of the method are: comprehension, knowledge, current, skills, comfort, motivation and accomplishment.
Although all classroom instructions and grammar explanations are conducted in English – unlike the Direct method of teaching, the teacher doesn’t translate any vocabulary to the students. A translation is provided immediately opposite the vocabulary to help them understand. However, alike the Direct method, it teaches concepts and everyday vocabulary through teachers demonstrations and bodily movements, real-life objects, pictures and visual materials. It also teaches grammar and focuses on a questions & answers pattern.
The method first includes vocabulary, grammar, questions & answers, readings, dictations and translations. Then, the method introduces exercises and conversation. The students’ oral communications skills are built up progressively through the questions & answers exchanges between the teacher and the students. The correct pronunciation of words is then emphasised. During a lesson, it is important that the students speak 90% of the time.
THE KEY ASPECTS.
The key aspects of the method are:
1. THE “ORAL†ASPECT.
With the method, the teacher orally introduces the elements of the French language carefully to students with a special attention to pronunciation, pointing to mouth if necessary.
2. THE “VISUAL†ASPECT.
Through the method, the teacher ensures the students clearly understand what is being taught, using both gestures and everyday visual materials.
3. THE “REPEAT†ASPECT.
The method means the students repeat each new word about 10-20 times per stage.
4. THE “HIGH FREQUENCY†ASPECT.
The method prioritises teaching “high frequency words and verbs†(teaching key verbs such as “To be†before less common verbs like “To sailâ€, for example).
5. THE “PROGRESS†ASPECT.
From the second lesson on, the first 10 minutes of each lesson are to review the previous lessons. The teacher asks the students words from the VOCABULARY in their own language, which they then have to translate into the French language. The teacher also asks some of the questions from the QUESTIONS & ANSWERS.
6. THE “SCENERY†ASPECT.
The method works best when one varies the setting of teaching. Teaching in different rooms, teaching outdoors or make the students change seats at each new lesson.
