1. Dear parent/guardian,
Thank you for your interest in the French Made Fun summer program. This
week-long intensive all French-speaking program is designed to improve your child's
French skills based on the Ontario French Curriculum. Our mission is to improve
students’ French proficiency levels by encouraging the exclusive use of French at all
times and fostering creativity, learning and promoting discovery. It will incorporate new
teaching strategies into a fun summer camp-like setting. It is suitable for all proficiency
levels and will be tailored to your child's needs based on what is highlighted on the
sign-up form.
The focus of the program is to encourage the use of the French language outside
of the classroom. It gives children the opportunity to express themselves in the language,
something that is not always practiced in the classroom since the majority of the time
students are listening. When children have the chance to use the language in a more
relaxed atmosphere they feel more comfortable with the language and many
improvements can be seen in just a short period of time. They will feel more confident in
their abilities and will get more one-on-one time in areas where they have difficulty.
The program will be run by Alysha McFee, a qualified teacher from a French
Immersion background. She earned her Masters in French language literature in 2014,
focusing her thesis project on the pros and cons of the French Immersion schooling
system in Ontario. She began her career in education in the swimming pool teaching
children how to swim then began teaching French to a first year university class when
she became a teacher's assistant during her Masters program. She then proceeded to
teach French in an elementary setting during her time spent in teachers college at York
University. She is very enthusiastic and strives on seeing students constantly improving
their French abilities.
The program is being offered to students from grades 2-8 from a French
Immersion background. It is currently running July 6th-10th 2015 from 9am-3pm
however additional weeks may be added based on interest. The cost is $300 per child or
$250 per child if you sign up with a friend.
