Journaling Club

You want a hybrid practice for your French practice:

- time on your own to organize your thoughts & cultivate insightful reflexivity (time to write)

- time with a group to share and discuss all together on the same topics (time to talk, listen and react)

- written feedback from a teacher (time to integrate and correct)

​

What do we do?

1. Sunday evening: weekly launch!

You receive 3 questions to work through (one personal/light-hearted; one about your professional life; one about your French journey) 

You choose to work on 2 of them. 

You also receive a challenge: we ask you to integrate a French point into both of your answers: a word, a structure, or a form of a verb at a specific tense.

​

2. Sunday to Wednesday: time on your own!

You think about your questions and find French ways to say it. You write your answers (250 words max).

​

3. Thursday: group time!

We meet for one hour and discuss the questions you've worked on. 

​

We give you 24 hours to integrate what has been said during the meeting and/or improve your answer (if it needs improvement) 

​

4. Friday: feedback

Your teacher gives you feedback on Friday afternoon.

​

-> We start again on Sunday!

​

​Seems fun? We think so too!​

Why it works:

- brings a sense of play and novelty to your current training without destabilizing it.

- a small time investment if you don't want a full hands-on training.

- creates a space for your French outside of professional training: you can talk about something else and develop yourself in French on a more personal level. You're developing an authentic sense of self in French. 

- gives you keys to develop self-directed learning skills (which are key for a C level in French). You take the lead in your French journey: your teachers are now here to support your progress, not lead you. You take the matter into your own hands.

- brings a sense of community with a safety net: you can share personal reflexivity, but you have time to prepare it first.

​​​

​​​

Level requirements: you are a good B-level.

You already know and use correctly:

- past and future tense

- pronoms compléments

- full sentences with multiple verbs

- easy subjonctif in short sentences.

 

It's ok if you're still struggling sometimes with:

- giving your opinion and subjonctif

- building hypothesis and conditionnel

 ​​

In short:

For B + students

Groups are limited to 4 participants max.

Weekly online sessions: Thursdays 2:30-3:30pm.

For 8 weeks.
