Hello world!

Bonjour . . . Hola . . . Guten Tag.  However you say it, Hello!  Welcome to the Foreign Language Teacher Blog.  I suppose I should start off with a little introduction.

I’m a foreign language teacher from the U.S., currently working as a part-time high school teacher.  I’ve shared my love of the French language with students as young as 2 and as old as 18.  I’ve piloted preschool foreign language programs, created home-based mom-tot classes, written a fifth grade French workbook, and developed an innovative story-based middle school curriculum.  I’m a frequent speaker at state, regional, and national foreign language teacher conferences.  When it comes to teaching French, I feel like I’ve done it all!

I received my BA in French and English Language and Literature in 1990, and I’ve done post-graduate work in Elementary Education. I studied in both France and Quebec and have traveled to these wonderful places frequently, leading student trips and exchange programs.

There, now that the resume is out of the way, we can get right to work.  Want to know how to teach kids foreign language greetings?  Every language class begins with a friendly “Hello”, right?  Check out this article to learn how to  Teach Foreign Language Greetings.  Start language study with games, interaction, and fun.
