French as a Foreign Language – Français Plus 1 Student’s Book
Method Presentation
The “Français Plus 1” textbook is the fourth book in the “Français Plus” collection. This collection provides a comprehensive method for learning French as a Foreign Language (FLE) and is intended for students whose first language is not French.
The “Français Plus 1” book is designed for elementary school students. It offers an active and dynamic approach to learning spoken and written French. Focused on motivation and the pleasure of learning, the Français Plus method helps students build and develop the skills required to acquire a new language.
This textbook from the “Français Plus” collection includes two components: the student’s book and the exercise workbook.
Français Plus 1 – Student’s Book
The “Français Plus 1” Student’s Book includes:
A) Eighteen lessons
These lessons focus on listening comprehension and oral expression, as oral communication forms the foundation of the entire method.
Each lesson follows six stages:
- An introduction in the form of a comic strip, which the child observes while listening to a short recorded dialogue.
- A review of the same dialogue, which the child reads while using the recorded phonetic model as a reference.
- A presentation of speaking situations and vocabulary. The richness and precision of the illustrations support clear understanding and accurate intonation.
Oral exercises that encourage students to reuse the structures and vocabulary already introduced. - A short phonics session.
- A small grammar frame at the end of each lesson.
B) Activity sequences
Every set of three lessons is followed by a series of activities that include:
- A poster reviewing the vocabulary from the three previous lessons.
- A short poem.
- A song.
- A project to be completed individually or in groups (photo–drawing–text collages, crafts, cooking recipes, etc.).
The aim of these activities is to help children connect their French learning with their everyday lives.
