Ce fut une grande et heureuse surprise, 15 ans après,

de vous revoir.

Malheureusement, nous aurions voulu vous garder à dîner, mais le temps était trop court. Cela nous aurait permis de bavarder plus longtemps, car il y avait des années à rattraper. 

Mais maintenant nous pourrons communiquer plus facilement grâce à “internet”. Je t‘écrirai en français pour que tu gardes la pratique de notre langue.

Nous avons lu dans la presse qu’un typhonétait passé sur Taïwan et avait fait beaucoup de dommages. Nous avons bien pensé bien à vous. Nous vous gardons toute notre fidèle amitié, pour vousdeux et pour les enfants. 

Je te dis à bientôt par mail, avec mon meilleur souvenir pour toute la famille.

What does it feel like to read a ‘foreign language’?

What is literacy?

‘Literacy unites the important skills of reading and writing. It also involves speaking and listening which, although they are not separately identified in the Framework, are an essential part of it. Good oral work enhances understanding of language in both oral and written forms and of the way language can be used to communicate. It is also an important part of the process through which pupils read and compose texts.’

•The National Literacy Strategy: Framework for teaching DfES (1998)

How do literacy emerge?

Why do we promote reading in the YL classroom?• Learning to read makes learners more fully rounded in their language

skills.

• The cognitive processes involved in speaking, listening, reading and writing are interdependent, so work on any one of the skills is beneficial to the others.

• Reading is helpful and appealing for children with visual learning styles.

• The sooner children start to read in English, the sooner they will be able to use reading to learn about English and to expose themselves to English outside the classroom.

• Reading becomes increasingly important as learners get older, so we are laying the foundations for later language development.

• Reading (and writing) are involved in many productive and fun language learning activities, which could otherwise not be used.

Why do we promote reading in the YL classroom?• Teaching reading fits in with children’s and parents’

expectations of what should be learnt. Reading (and writing) are often seen as ‘real’ work.

• Reading can be an aid to memorisation.

• Reading can improve oral ability.

• Not teaching reading (and writing) can slow down students’ overall progress.

• Children can transfer skills from their own language and vice-versa, thus further developing an integrated approach towards learning.

• Knowing how to read opens up a world of reading in English both for pleasure and purpose.

• Reading stories helps children to access the culture of the language they are studying.

Procedural Language• You’ll need to work in pairs/groups.• Everyone needs to take part.• Open your book to page ….• First, you need to…• After that,…. Then,….Finally….• You have ten minutes to complete this task.• Extra points will be rewarded for using only

English.• When you hear the bell ring, switch partners.

Functional Language• What shall I do next?• What do we have to do now?• Speak more slowly, please.• Can you help me (with that) , please?• What does “jigsaw” mean?• How do you say “軍人” in English?• How do you spell “whale”?• Can you repeat the sentence again,

please?• I’ve done/finished this.
