5. Teaching Tips When showing a PowerPoint, give plenty of time for learners to think of answers before revealing the text/‘answers’. Play guessing games, miming games and/or simple matching games where learners pair the job with the person. Props such as hats/tools etc are great to have in your teaching kit to enable you to mime/act out words and phrases without resorting to English. Creating ‘characters’ (puppets, dolls, cartoons) to whom you can attribute names/ descriptions/ characteristics/ actions also works well as learners often remember them more easily from one session to the next.

6. Do One Thing! Practise the verbs learnt in this session by saying them while doing an action/mime. Start a collection of props (look in the dressing up box!) that you could use for teaching jobs without using English. Label a map of a French town with pictures/symbols illustrating: en ville à la maison à l’école à l’hôpital and display it in the classroom ready to refer to when teaching Explore an online dictionary such as www.wordreference.com www.wordreference.com
