To develop your students' understanding of the cultural aspects, landscape and traditions of a French-speaking country or region, such as Quebec, and to expand their tourism vocabulary, you could ask them to:

  • Write and record a script in French to accompany a non-verbal tourism video

Sarah Haigh, who led a New Teacher Subject Days course on La Francophonie, was inspired to share this writing and speaking activity after hearing Gabrielle Bilodeau’s (Urmston Grammar Academy) talk on Quebec.

Schools Programme members and those who attended the New Teacher Subject Days 2015-16 can download the resources from the event in the  PTI Staffroom.
