About Raconte! — Presentation

Raconte ! takes a step-by-step « 4 sections » approach with a repetitive (systematic) layout that will guide students at A2 level   through:

  • pronunciation (phonetic spelling / sounds)
  • listening comprehension
  • oral production
  • linguistic structures
  • Section 1 :
    • Students will discover French phonemes, will listen to, read and repeat French words.
    • This page offers a monologue to read and to listen to simultaneously.
    • Students will associate the sounds with the spelling of the words; this, in turn, will allow them to identify these words more easily in an audio excerpt.
    • Students will then listen to and read some questions in French.
    • They will answer these questions in French, following the various examples presented in the text.
  • Section 2 :
    • Students will discover French phonemes and will listen to, read and repeat French words.
    • They will listen to a dialogue (without the transcript, this time) and answer traditional comprehension questions in English.
    • They will then read some questions in French as they listen to them.
    • They will answer these questions in French, following the various examples that they have heard in the audio document.
  • Section 3 :
    • They will associate the sounds and the spelling of the words in a grid.
    • They will listen to a narration (without the transcript) and answer comprehension questions in English.
    • Students will listen to some questions in French (without the transcript, this time) and will answer these questions in French, following the various examples of what they have heard in the audio document.
