Partons en vacances!

The new focus in teaching a second language is on creating authentic action-oriented lessons for our students. “Action-oriented tasks are purposeful acts set in a context that students could face in everyday life in a variety of situations. These tasks are open-ended and complex, requiring a variety of knowledge and skills, and there are many possible paths leading to attaining the specific end goal.” (A Guide to Reflective Practice for Core French Teachers The Action-Oriented Approach)
