Le texte peut paraître parfois” enfoncer des portes déjà ouvertes” mais je pense qu’il est bon pour nous tous de garder à l’esprit les conseils qui suivent: [...En accord avec ces principes fondamentaux, le Conseil encourage toutes les personnes concernées par l’organisation de l’apprentissage des langues à fonder leur action sur les besoins, les motivations, les caractéristiques et les ressources de l’apprenant. Ce qui suppose de répondre à des questions telles que : – Qu’est-ce que l’apprenant aura besoin de faire avec la langue ? – Qu’a-t-il besoin d’apprendre pour être capable d’utiliser la langue à ces fins ? – Qu’est-ce qui le pousse à vouloir apprendre ?...] J’ajouterai, pour le cas spécifique de l’Australie, et face au pourcentage élevé d’abandon en année 9 (70% environ de l’effectif) la question suivante: Qu’est-ce qui le pousse à ne plus vouloir apprendre une langue étrangère? [...– Qui est-il (âge, sexe, milieu social et niveau d’instruction) ? – Quels sont le savoir, le savoir-faire et l’expérience de l’enseignant auquel il a à faire? – Dans quelle mesure a-t-il accès à des manuels, des ouvrages de référence (grammaires, dictionnaires, etc.), des moyens audiovisuels et informatiques (matériel et didacticiels) ? – Combien de temps peut-il, désire-t-il ou est-il capable de consacrer à l’apprentissage d’une langue ?...] Beaucoup d’entre vous nous ont envoyé des cassettes vierges pour obtenir des extraits de télévision française à utiliser en cours de FLE. Malheureusement les émissions de TV5 ont été interrompues pendant plusieurs semaines pour faire place aux évènements en Irak. Il faudra donc que vous patientiez un peu plus longtemps avant de recevoir vos enregistrements. Vous trouverez dans ce numéro un article rédigé par Robyn Thew qui revient de France après avoir enseigné pendant un an en France. Si vous êtes professeur dans un collège/lycée d’Etat et que vous aimeriez faire un échange semblable en 2004, en France ou ailleurs, renseignez-vous auprès de Tracey Davies ou de Narelle Anderson (Tel: 4224 9085). Les demandes pour 2005 pourront s’effectuer à partir du deuxième semestre. Nous aimerions encourager tous les professeurs de français à adhérer à la NAFT. Cette année l’association prévoit la création de réseaux locaux à travers la Nouvelle Galles du Sud et tous les membres recevront prochainement un magnifique poster pour la promotion du français. Le formulaire d’inscription se trouve page 22. Alors, bonne continuation et vive le français!

L’objectif principal de l’atelier était de réfléchir à des activités liant l’enseignement des Technologies de l’Information et de la Communication et l’enseignement de la langue et de la culture française. Les treize professeurs présents ont créé une présentation, le plan de Paris, à l’aide du logiciel PowerPoint. Voici l’activité proposée étape par étape, si le coeur vous en dit: Collecting images we are going to need from the Web: un plan de Paris, une Tour Eiffel, les Champs Elysées. 1) Go to www.google.fr 2) Click on “images” and type the name of the image you are looking for ( i.e. Plan de Paris) 3) Click on“ recherche Google” 4) Select an image which features famous Paris monuments. Save it in a folder as follows: ⇒ For MacIntosh users: keep the cursor on the image and click on the mouse (keep your finger down on the mouse). A dialog box will appear. Click on “Save Image” and save it in a folder. ⇒ For Windows users: right click on the mouse. www.curriculumsupport.nsw.edu.au/languages term2-2003 copy 7 7 21/05/2003, 2:53 PM HANDS ON Stage 1: creating slides Professional Support & Curriculum Directorate - Term 2, 2003 Stage 2 HANDS ON Open your PowerPoint presentation application.

It was unique because it was the only French-Australian teacher exchange to take place during 2002. My greatest challenge was obtaining the long-stay visa (carte de séjour) to live and work in France for the year. This could be only done in France. I was very relieved, when I finally received it, at the end of my first six months in France. I taught English (with an Aussie accent of course) at the Lycée Xavier Marmier in Pontarlier, a small town of 20,000 inhabitants in the east of France, very close to the Swiss border and the Jura mountains. Pontarlier is a country town where old and young alike still say “bonjour” to strangers in the street and some of the buildings date from the seventeenth century. I arrived at my senior high school of 1300 students, in the middle of the French school year with everything in full swing. After being welcomed back after the Christmas holidays with the rest of the staff, we sampled the usual New Year pastry, “galette des rois” and an aperitif. I had to adjust to those early mornings, walking to school for an 8am start, in the snow and in temperatures of minus 10 degrees. I did enjoy having a long uninterrupted lunch in the school cafeteria. There is no playground duty, because there are surveillants who check attendance and supervise students during recess and lunch. The long lunch meant that sometimes I was teaching till 5 or 6 pm, but as I didn’t teach Wednesday or Saturday mornings (like some other teachers) and only had to be at school when I was actually teaching, this wasn’t too bad! There are obvious differences between the NSW and the French system. The baccalauréat (HSC) is mostly exam-based. The students don’t wear a uniform, they are permitted to smoke in the playground and they must study one year of philosophy and two foreign languages for their final exam. My French school had many international exchanges. I was lucky enough to meet the Swedish, German, Hungarian and Czech groups. I even gave an Australian presentation to some of these groups and my imitation of a kookaburra’s laugh certainly improved each time. Many of the students and staff I talked to were fascinated by the Australian landscape, flora and fauna and the Aboriginal culture. Even though I have been a LOTE teacher in the DET for many years, I gained many new insights into the French language and culture. The French use the word “solidarité” a lot – this could mean demonstrating on a small or large scale against the government, helping out a neighbour, being a member of an association or participating in a national telethon. By the end of the year I found that my French listening skills had vastly improved. I realised this when I could keep up with most dinner conversations and talk on the phone, two of the most difficult tasks to master in a second language. Hardly any shops are open on Sundays in the smaller towns, so people relax with their families and friends or enjoy the great outdoors. The region is famous for its enthusiasm for sport especially in winter. It was not uncommon to see people walking, jogging, running and bike-riding. I did try crosscountry skiing and raquette where you walk on the snow with something like tennis racquets www.curriculumsupport.nsw.edu.au/languages term2-2003 copy 19 19 21/05/2003, 2:56 PM IMPRESSIONS NSW DET TEACHER EXCHANGE 2002 Professional Support & Curriculum Directorate - Term 2, 2003 IMPRESSIONS strapped to your feet... I did a lot of falling down but had a lot of fun. Nationally, they struggle with similar issues to us: - unemployment, personal and national security, road safety, immigration and refugees. Living in the wonderful region of Franche-Comté, where the locals appreciate the natural beauty around them, I became more and more aware of the changing seasons during the year. They seemed much more distinctive than in my hometown of Sydney. I arrived in January 2002 when the local lake (Lac Saint Point) was frozen (a fairly exceptional occurrence)… I was able to walk out onto the lake quite safely. You knew that spring had arrived when the white of winter turned to green pastures with yellow and mauve wild flowers and cows were seen enjoying the outdoors (and jangling those bells) after spending the winter indoors with the families. These cows produce milk – which is very important to the fabulous cheeses of the region: Mont d’Or, Comté, Morbier, Cancoillotte. If you’re having trouble imagining the scenery just picture Julie Andrews strolling over the mountains singing the Sound of Music. Pontarlier, like a lot of French towns, seems to come alive in summer – the days are long (sometimes the sun sets at 10.00 pm) and the barbecues start. There are festivals, fireworks and flowers displayed in every town. I especially enjoyed the national “Fête de la Musique” where musicians play in the street and you move around listening to the different artists, groups, bands. Of course the French National Holiday on the 14th July is symbolic of the party atmosphere of the summer holidays. After summer the weather turned cooler and the autumn colours appeared, all too briefly... ahhhh. Christmas was mild (no snow unfortunately) but I was treated to foie gras, seafood, turkey, chestnut stuffing and the traditional Christmas cake in the shape of a log (bûche de Noël). This region Franche-Comté, like many other regions of France, has a well deserved reputation for fine cuisine. I could spend all my article describing many of the fantastic and mouth-watering meals I enjoyed but suffice to say, that in addition to the twice-weekly local market, my friends and colleagues and local cafés provided an abundance of fine food to sample. I was also spoiled by having a great pastry shop opposite to where I lived... Much too tempting on my way to and from school! During my holidays, I had many wonderful opportunities to travel to other regions in France and other countries in Europe. I continued to use French and German in Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Poland, Hungary, Italy, the Czech Republic and Malta. While the trips provided much needed relaxation they also enhanced my French and European perspective on the world. You may be wondering why I haven’t mentioned Paris which is the most visited city in the world. I have visited this amazing city many times and it has never failed to impress me but I encourage you to explore the rest of France beyond its capital. As my friends and I discovered on our two week regional trip through France there are other unforgettable places such as the Riviera, Provence, the Rhône Alps, the Dordogne and the Loire to enjoy. I will always remember with great affection the staff at Lycée Xavier Marmier. Their friendship, good humour and professionalism provided me with an amazing year. I have now returned home and am back teaching at Cherrybrook THS. I have benefitted immensely from my year overseas and look forward to passing these benefits onto my students. www.curriculumsupport.nsw.edu.au/languages term2-2003 copy 20 20 21/05/2003, 2:56 PM Professional Support & Curriculum Directorate - Term 2, 2003 N.A.F.T.

The content includes mapping grids and marking guidelines for all courses. Beginners Although the questions in the Writing Skills section were phrased in French only in 2001, they appeared in both French and English in 2002. This took place in response to requests from teachers. As there is no specification in the syllabus regarding this matter teachers can only assume that it may vary from year to year. For further advice regarding this matter, call Howard Jacobs on 9367 8039 or email [email protected] A Beginners’ course workshop will be taking place in Ryde on Saturday 31 May. Teachers who are not very familiar with the course or who would like to revise their teaching and learning strategies for the productive skills are encouraged to attend. See the registration form on page 6 in this bulletin. Continuers The term 1 workshop for teachers of the Continuers’ course was well attended and guest speakers Noel Thomsen and Ritta Serret provided some useful information on successful strategies for the teaching and learning of the productive skills. Participants also made a valuable contribution by creating Writing Skills questions which are published on the next page. Many teachers have chosen the new edition of Au Point as one of their principal resources in the programming of the Continuers course. However, some weaker students have found this textbook very challenging. Fortunately Hodder & Stoughton have released a similar but slightly easier text which seems to provide an answer to this problem. It is called Tout Terrain and is available from Nelson. Ph: 1800 654 831 or e-mail: [email protected] The following list is a series of conversation starters that teachers may find useful for those odd moments when students may run out of things to say about their personal world in French. We welcome any ideas you may have for publication in this regard. www.curriculumsupport.nsw.edu.au/languages term2-2003 copy 23 23 21/05/2003, 2:59 PM HSC UPDATE Students will be notified by mail by the Board of Studies regarding their allocated examination centre.
