Title: Creativity and (French) Phonics


1
Creativity and (French) Phonics
  • Suzi Bewell

2
  • An army destined to defeat fights in the hope of
    winning but without any planning

Enemy
The Wise Warrior
Battleground
Strategy
3
The Battle Ground Know the enemy and know
yourself
  • Year 11 Speaking Exams
  • Unmotivated and disengaged
  • Unable to process and manipulate the language
  • Severe absence of skills and ambition to become
    independent learners

4
The Enemy What the pupils say
  • I cant spell much French
  • Its hard to remember where the accents go and
    how to spell the words like silent letters and
    how to pronounce it differently to how you write
    it
  • It sounds different to how its spelled and its
    said really quickly
  • Its hard to pronounceI never know how to
    pronounce it!
  • I forget pronunciation and struggle

5
The key to success in war the need for an
effective strategy.
  • The old strategy
  • In the early stages of learning, the written
    form of the language can strongly interfere with
    pronunciationlearners need ample opportunities
    to listen and respond before the written forms
    are involved.
  • Listen to Regarde-moi papa version 1
  • Now consider the following
  • Jem Je mapple Ongleterre poison
    rouge
  • lapIN Habite leS mathS famILLE -
    QUart

Words from the Warriors
  • How many times do students learn something by
    heart and it sounds dreadful?
  • I usually just teach it as things crop up.
  • I don't really teach phonics. I mean, I think I
    teach students how to pronounce the French
    language but I don't think I actively teach it
  • As far as phonics are concerned, Rachel Hawkes
    is the only person I have come across who is into
    them, which is mad really!
  • I feel it would be more useful to come with a
    knowledge of certain sounds rather than knowing
    about the weather or pets

7
The key to success in war the need for an
effective strategy.
  • and the new
  • Children do not arrive at primary magically
    knowing how to read English, they are taught why
    do we  imagine they will learn to read another
    language if we do not teach the children the
    code first?

8
To subdue the enemy without fighting is the
supreme excellence
  • Using le manuel phonique, Jolly Phonique
  • teach 36 principal sounds
  • stress sound-spelling links
  • tease out structures and rules
  • deal with cognates and tricky words

9
You cannot change your enemy, so change your
responses
  • Pupil-led teaching and learning
  • Active learning
  • Creative teaching

10
POWER OF STUDENT VOICE
  • Ask them what they like
  • Ask them what they dont like / find hard
  • Ask them what they would like to learn
  • Ask them how they would like to learn
  • ACT ON THIS INFORMATION AND MAKE
    POSITIVE CHANGES

ACTIVE LEARNING
  • Blooms Taxonomy
