Learning by Doing: A French Adventure in Year Group 7

Valistus International School

"Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn.”

Learning a foreign language is like opening Pandora’s box—an exciting, challenging roller coaster. Learning and remembering new words and concepts become easier when students engage in activities.

With this in mind, Year Group 7 French students embarked on a tour of the beautiful school campus. While appreciating the outdoors, they practiced French terms and expressions related to giving and following directions. Choosing various spots, from the fish pond to the sandpit, they used rules and commands to guide each other to their destinations.

A perfect example of learning by doing.
