Francophone Africa French Comprehensible Input Lesson

This Francophone Africa lesson will teach your students about the other countries in the world that speak French – many of them in Africa. French-speaking Africa is the fastest-growing place for the French language in the world, and this lesson will teach about the role of French in Africa in a very comprehensible way.

Comprehensible input is important in a world languages class – but you can’t always do stories. This is a French comprehensible input lesson that uses target structures in a comprehensible way to teach about a nonfiction topic – Francophone Africa. The text is appropriate for 2nd semester French and later.

The target structures are:

• une langue
• un pays
• il y a

This Francophone Africa item includes:

• a 33-slide PowerPoint with repetition of the target vocabulary
• a text version of the PowerPoint
• comprehension questions
• a grammar explanation and exercise for de/du/de la /d’/des
• a story retell sheet with photos – one for writing, one for oral retell
• a list of associated videos
• a complete answer key
