5. Grammar focus Imperatives The imperative form of verbs is used to give orders or instructions. When talking to more than one person the imperative will normally end in -ez, using the vous - second person plural form of the verb.e.g. Regardez! Chantez! Some verbs ( called reflexive verbs will also need –vous added too e.g. Levez-vous! Asseyez vous! Imperatives are very useful to give instructions in a classroom situation

6. Teaching Tips Use French as much as possible in lessons and incidentally Use actions to show what you mean Emphasise good pronunciation and intonation – emphasising French sounds Play the games to reinforce the language Sing the songs as often as possible when you have a few spare minutes Use props, clothes and other ‘artefacts' to support language learnng and make the language come alive Greet the class in French ‘Bonjour’ ‘Au revoir’ Ask them to respond to the register in French ‘Bonjour Madame…/Monsieur… or with a part of the body or with how they feel using the new expressions When children are ready, show them the written language, pointing out sound –spelling links to reinforce good pronunciation Make a classroom display

7. Practise your language! Practise the new language and sounds Listen to the recordings Practice the classroom language Review the grammar points Read the dialogues aloud to practice pronunciation and intonation Practise the songs Use your language incidentally as much as possible
