Tout le monde levels 1 & 2: Plan for mixed year 3 – 4
Updated in response to teacher feedback (August 09)
Preparation
As a certain amount of repetition needs to be built in, less material will be covered.
Divide each year into 4 blocks of 8 weeks.
Two of the modules will not be used. These are Modules 2 and 5 from Tout le monde 2. This is because a bit longer will be spent on each module, to make it possible to revisit areas and thus give the two year course a feeling of unity, whichever way round the pupil ends up doing it. Certain elements of Module 2 of TLM 2 (months of the year, birthday dates) are fitted into the two-year programme. Module 5 from Tout le monde 2 is being saved for the second half of the mixed-year programme (Years 5 – 6)
To make your eight-week blocks:
-
Look at the starters and plenaries. A choice is provided – decide where you are going to use the spare ones.
-
Decide where the additions are going to fit in.

Make use of the extra activities given (an hour or more)
