CASLT Event Description
Célébrons la francophonie is a collection of activities for FSL teachers to use with their students to explore and celebrate the French language and the French-speaking world. CASLT provides this resource for the Semaine nationale de la francophonie, an opportunity to celebrate a rich, exciting, and dynamic Francophone community in Canada.
FSL teachers – participate in the live Kahoot! with your students to:
- Connect in real time with other teachers and students in Canada celebrating French
- Have fun while promoting the use and acquisition of the French language
- Have a chance to win prizes – there will be several prize draws for participants during the live event
Feel free to have your students participate individually or participate all together as a class.
