Weekly Listening Prompts for Grade 6 7 & 8 French Immersion

These weekly French listening prompts are no prep and collaborative, just project and play when you decide that it is listening time. Suitable for Middle school French immersion or extended French, this activity has half a year's worth of listening and discussions prompts that even a non-French speaking substitute teacher can handle! The focus here is on listening skills and topics, but as you know, speaking and listening go hand in hand.

Prompts are engaging, relevant and interesting. They encourage self reflection and fair collaborative discussions with their peers. The teacher guide has tips, references and suggestions to handle the topics.
