What parents can do small medium large Wasatch Junior High - French What parents can do!!!! 1 - UNDERSTAND... UNDERSTAND... UNDERSTAND!!!!! - The French program at Wasatch! may appear different from the way parents learned a foreign language when they were in school! - Study the disclosure statement and other pages. - Discuss classroom activities with student. - Visit the class anytime. - Inquire from teacher.(Email is best) I often am asked questions by parents which show that parents DID NOT spend the time to understand the program. Such questions can be: "Does s/he turn in her/his homework?", "Why does s/he not have a textook?", "Why doesn't s/he not know the words in English?" "What can we do help?" etc... Please read carefully and discuss the class with your student. I seldom get specific questions regarding what is written in my disclosure statement or what comes up in the discussions at home!!! - The student: - Learning style. - Attitude. - Work habits. 2 - BE POSITIVE ABOUT… - The student: The grade is not everything - A : Excellent - B : Good - C : Average - D : Poor - We all have different aptitudes. - Contentment and long term development are better than a grade. - The culture: - Consider and point out the historical contributions which came trough the French language in many areas. - French is with English the language of the Olympics and the UN and is considered the second language of the World from Asia to Europe and South America (La Francophonie.) - Find in papers and on TV and point out to students the current events which involve the French language and culture(Europe,Canada, Africa, etc.) - The program and the teacher: - The immersion program at Wasatch has been very successful. - The teacher is a native speaker of the language and properly trained in the method. 3 - BE SUPPORTIVE… - Ask regularly what is happening in the French class. - Monitor the French notebook: - Neatness. - Work seems to be done properly. - Colors. - Student seems to be able to explain. - Supervise and participate in the home activities: - MAKE SURE that student maintain (see "what students can do at home) - Show and tell. - Attend parent-teacher conference. - Schedule a conference with teacher, if necessary. Failure to learn the material in class and participating (paying attention, asking questions, responding etc...) cannot be compensated by work at home. Parents and friends RETEACHING the materials or using different methods will not work. The activites at home should be mainly in the area of REVIEW and MAINTENANCE. Students need to GET IT in class.
