Merci et à bientôt
The last day day of of the Summer Term is always a a a a a a day day of of mixed feelings and emotions for a a a a a teacher There is a a a a a feeling of relief that the summer holidays have arrived but saying goodbye to students and colleagues who are leaving the College can be painful Teaching French
French
goes beyond teaching the complexities of French
French
verbs and vocabulary you follow the language development of a a a a a a child from being reticent to to to speak French
to to to wanting to to to learn more about the language language Learning languages has always been regarded as difficult by many children in this country It is is a a a a real commitment to learn about other cultures and people These days more than ever our children will need to master communication skills and pupils who continue with languages will never regret it it in in the future On the last day of term Charlotte Williams (OM – 2019-2021) came back to to the French
Department to to bring a a a a a a special thank you present a a a a piece of her artwork to thank the French
department for instilling in in in in her the the love of French
When Charlotte joined the the IB B Higher set in in French
in in September 2019 she remembers the “nerves [she] [she] had had every time [she] [she] had had a a a French
lesson in the first few weeks” However she worked extremely hard and spent time seeking further guidance in in in the the the French
department and in in in the the the end languages have “gradually become such a a a a a a a huge part of [her] life” This long journey in French
has been worth it for Charlotte and as as her her teacher I am so proud that in September 2021 Charlotte will be reading French
and Arabic at Magdalen College Oxford Law Society
