FLAVA 2014 Talk Foreign Language Association of Virginia After Spanish became mandatory starting in Kindergarten in her department in 2002, the presenter had to redefine how she was teaching, but more particularly how others were viewing French. Her classes went from 70 students per grade to 10 students. Since she implemented the simple techniques that she will demonstrate in this session, her classes have doubled in size. The idea is not to reinvent what we are doing, but simply to modify certain elements of our class to change perspective. This session will also include promotional activities that are easy to implement. Participants will be given lesson plans and will be able to adapt this lesson to the level of each student.
