Chantez Plus Fort ! 2nd edition

Description

Build confidence in French through fun, catchy songs. Chantez Plus Fort ! is a fully illustrated teaching resource that uses the power of song to make learning French natural, memorable and fun. Designed for primary and lower secondary classrooms, it helps pupils build confidence, improve fluency and develop accurate pronunciation—without pressure or fear of getting it wrong.

Why songs work
Music provides a stress-free way for children to absorb a new language. Through rhythm, melody and repetition, pupils naturally internalise French sounds and intonation, practise key grammatical structures, and gain the confidence to speak out loud. Singing removes barriers, boosts participation and supports all learners, including those who struggle with traditional approaches.

Everything you need—no musical experience required
The book includes free digital downloads of 20 high-quality audio tracks: 16 specially composed songs and 4 traditional French songs, all performed by native French children. Teachers can use the resource straight away—no singing expertise needed. Repetitive lyrics, simple melodies and flexible structures make the songs easy to learn, adapt and revisit.

Active, inclusive learning
Songs support essential vocabulary and themes such as greetings, numbers, family, pets, food and drink, telling the time, classroom instructions and describing oneself. Students are encouraged to sing, clap, move, gesture and dance, turning language learning into an active, whole-body experience. Instrumental versions allow pupils to create and perform their own interpretations once they are familiar with the songs, boosting creativity and confidence.

Clear support for teachers
Chantez Plus Fort ! includes illustrated lyric sheets, sheet music, English translations, mini-dialogues and clear teacher notes, making it perfect for whole-class teaching, small groups or performances. Chantez Plus Fort ! keeps pupils motivated, engaged and enjoying French—while steadily building real language skills.

Sing louder. Learn better. Have fun learning French.
