I like this tool, I have seen teachers in my school use a program similar to this one, but for some reason I can't remember the program. These can be fun for the students to use because it is something different than the normal PowerPoint that they complete for assignments.
This interactive website is a great classroom tool for authentic, age appropriate readings. It is set up like an average news website, which offers students information on a broad range of topics. In addition, there is a teaching corner that offers free resources and topics for debate!
Create a free account on this French language website so you have access to all the great videos, articles and "dossiers". For example, there's a one minute animated video that explains why we have the 1 hour time change this weekend. Great for high school level French students.
LanguageGuide.org is an online language learning resource available in numerous languages ranging from English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Italian, German, Dutch, Turkish, Arabic, Russian, Mandarin, Japanese, to Korean.
This illustrated vocabulary guide contains sound-integrated exercises at three levels -- beginner, intermediate, and advanced, and allows for independent practice at the learner's own pace. These practice exercises are appropriate for elementary and middle school students and this resource would be well suited on a teacher webpage. Thematic topics vary by language but generally include numbers, parts of the body, clothing, food, animals, weather, home, and school. There is an option menu on each screen for listening, speaking, and reading practice, as well as a quiz for students to check their comprehension. Some languages also feature a Grammar and Readings section for more advanced learners.
This site has thematic French vocabulary exercises that include authentic audio for topics such as the body, animals, the family, clothing, the train station, in the city, etc. It could be assigned for homework so that students can listen to the audio as many times as they like, or it could be projected on a screen for classroom use.
