CASLT Event Description
FSL Fundamentals: Strengthening our Community
VIRTUAL COMMUNITY-BUILDING EVENTS
The main goal of this virtual event series is to strengthen our community through participation in hands-on learning activities that will develop a sense of belonging to a network of French as an additional language teachers. Through a series of five sessions between fall 2023 and spring 2024, we will discover cultural elements specific to the French-speaking world. Each session will be interactive, allowing you to learn about a cultural theme through experiences. You will be able to transfer what you’ve learned to your classroom or simply take advantage of these moments to relax.
We work so hard to meet our students’ needs that we sometimes forget to consider our own emotional needs. Take some time to have fun while making connections, speaking French, and developing your intercultural skills in a relaxed environment.
SESSION 4: Let’s Make Crêpes Together!
In this session, we’ll prepare – and enjoy – crêpes together. We will follow the steps outlined in a video created by a French Immersion student and recreate her experience. Participants should be ready to cook along in their kitchen and follow the steps to make crêpes. You’ll leave the session with the essentials to do the same activity with your students and use the sample video as a classroom tool. Come make crêpes and share your delicious creations!
