Workshop
Region: 
South East
Location: 
Dover Christ Church Academy

This exciting event will be held on Thursday 14th May at Dover Christ Church Academy, Kent and will involve pupils from Year 7 & 8. The current cohort of PGCE student teachers from Canterbury Christ Church University will lead a range of activities that will focus around the theme of preparing for a visit to France. The event will start with some tailored input as to why it is important to be able to speak a different language in today’s world which will then lead into the practical language work. This will involve working in small groups, thus enabling pupils to practise their speaking skills in a fun and non-threatening environment. There will be a high level of competition running through the event to see which group of pupils can amass the largest amount of Euros to take them the furthest in France. All these activities will lead to an afternoon “market stall” type event in which the pupils will be required to use the language skills they have learned in the morning to make some transactions that will enable them to depart on a virtual holiday. Some French food will be served at lunchtime to give a further authentic feel to the day.
