Using Songs To Teach French Catherine Barlow Author of “J’aime Chanter!” and “J’aime Beaucoup Chanter en Français!” published by Brilliant Publications

Why use songs to teach French? Who will we use songs with? What songs will we teach? How do we teach songs? How can we exploit songs? What will our pupils gain from learning songs?

Why use songs to teach French?

To facilitate the learning and memorising of vocabulary and grammar To enable pupils to pronounce words correctly To promote cultural awareness and appreciation To embed French within other areas of the curriculum Just for fun

Who will we use songs with?

Pupils of all ages and abilities – there are no limits!

What songs will we teach?

Songs set to familiar tunes – enable teachers and pupils to focus on lyrics Action songs – memory-joggers Repetition songs/raps – pupils can copy clearly pronounced lyrics Songs made up of lists – aid vocabulary retention Traditional French songs – help pupils develop understanding of French culture Seasonal songs – Christmas, harvest festival etc

How do we teach songs?

Use existing version of song (CD/You Tube etc) or be prepared to sing a solo! Allow pupils to listen at least once or twice without joining in Keep it simple – not too many lyrics Go over meaning of lyrics/vocabulary – are pupils already familiar with these? Small sections – repeat words several times Pronunciation – check pupils copy model carefully Highlight rhyming words/sound patterns etc Don’t necessarily show words – it can sometimes hinder pronunciation Encouragement – some pupils are more reluctant singers – let them join in when they’re ready

(Sing to tune of ‘Frère Jacques’) Père Noёl (Sing to tune of ‘Frère Jacques’) Vite, venez! Apportez des cadeaux S’il vous plaît

How can we exploit the songs?

Phonics – listen and look for sounds/rhymes/cognates Comprehension – listen for specific vocabulary Sequencing – pupils put words/pictures/symbols in order as hear them mentioned Role play – build conversations around a song Composition – make up extra verses Festivals/cultural events – incorporate songs into whole school/cross-curricular activities eg assemblies, French Day Grammar – change structures eg parts of verbs Cloze tasks – written tasks requiring pupils to insert missing words Just for fun – to round off a topic

What will our pupils gain from learning songs?

Increased confidence in use of the language Improved pronunciation Greater understanding of vocabulary and/or grammatical structures Awareness of French culture
