Vocabulary and transcripts for this lessons
Key learning points
- Listening and reading texts can be exploited to enrich our topic-specific vocabulary.
- France and other Francophone countries are religiously diverse.
- Cognates may look very similar to English but sound quite different so attention must be paid to pronunciation.
- Time adverbials and verb forms can be used to distinguish between past, present and future actions and events.
Keywords
Cognate - words with the same meaning and same or similar spelling in English and French
Common misconception
Cognates are pronounced the same way in French as they are in English.
Cognates are often pronounced very differently in French. Students should not overlook the importance of practising pronunciation of cognates in order to better respond to listening stimuli as well as to develop a more authentic pronunciation.
Teacher tip
This lesson contains references to France as a secular country. This is an interesting area and pupils might benefit from learning more about France's stance on religion in public places such as schools and discussing their opinions about it. Slide 20 source: INSEE.
