BONJOUR MES AMIS!
Bienvenue à la classe de français !
Welcome to Mr. Wancique’s French class!
The world language classroom is a unique place to explore both French language and culture. Students will be using the text and workbook called “BIEN DIT” as well as many other supplementary materials that will enhance learning. Students will be encouraged to speak in the target language all the time. Content is presented and practiced in a variety of ways, from teacher centered lessons to students and whole group activities.
I want students to realize that language learning is fun and brings many benefits. It gives you a competitive edge when searching for jobs. It increases your understanding of the world and allows you to experience new culture. French language will connect you to other in a way that allows for personal growth and discovery. It’s a pleasure for me to be part of your learning process and contribute to make you a well-rounded individual. I look forward to a wonderful and rewarding school year.
