learning french free Interesting Knowledgebase

My students, who are University level individuals, consistently HATE this book and its ancilliary materials. The textbook is adequate IF the professor is competent and able to supplement the series with other material and practice. The text “Accent” is superior for French, and this work could benefit by emulating the superb Con Mucho Gusto format for Spanish. My students consistently find the “Paroles” text and materials to be awkward, tedious, frustrating, and even (in places) patronizing in the “new paradigm” approach which was the pedagogical fad of the 1990′s. (Read some of Steven Pinker’s brilliant works, especially his views on language acquistion). A more “traditional” text series such as “Accent” was more conducive to effective language learning. My students who use more “traditional” methods of learning French experience better understanding, retention and communication skills…and, as a skillful teacher, I find that I must heavily supplement the “Paroles” materials if I am to do justice to my students. Fourteen years’ experience in the French language classroom and six years with this textbook series justify my critique, based upon personal experience and student reviews.[keyword]learning+french+free[/keyword][yahooquestion]learning+french+free[/yahooquestion]
