French for Schools – Transition

Welcome to our French Transition course! 

This course was created in Partnership with Jen Reid and Laura Tennant of Angus Council (Scotland), to whom we are extremely thankful.

The course empowers Senior secondary school pupils studying French to work with pupils in their last year of Primary School, supported by the Class Teacher. The aim is to ensure primary school pupils move into their secondary French class with confidence. 

Secondary pupils develop their teaching and employability skills, allowing them to fulfil the volunteering element of programmes such as the Duke of Edinburgh Award or the Scottish Saltire Award. 

Primary Pupils benefit from a structured programme consisting of 4 lessons which can easily be completed over 4 or 8 weeks. The course recaps and consolidates key language structures and skills which are essential to a good transition into Secondary school. 

Overviews, Teachers’ Notes, videos, instruction cards, printable materials and Key Language documents with sound files are provided to support the delivery of the course every step of the way.

The course contains a mix of activities to reinforce the four core language skills of Listening, Talking, Reading and Writing.
