Learn French through Raps: Use Raps and Songs to Teach French in Primary Schools – Book, CD and DVD-Rom

Description

Ignite childrenʼs passion for French using these 20 specially written raps which have been tried and tested in the classroom. They provide an enjoyable natural and stress-free way to learn the rhythm of the language, intonation and pronunciation, as well as embed complex sentence structures such as questions and answers.

The raps introduce key words and phrases for popular primary school French topics, including animals, family, food, numbers, weather and classroom items. They can be used to supplement any scheme of work, or can become the focus for a mini-topic using the extension ideas in the teacherʼs book.

The accompanying CD contains recordings of the raps, sung by native French speakers, as well as backing tracks to enable children to make up their own versions. On the DVD-Rom there are two PowerPoints for each rap. The first introduces the vocabulary for the rap and the second teaches the rap itself.
