The AFTV Language Immersion Weekend was a huge success, enjoyed by all participants who agreed unanimously it is a wonderful way to spend a weekend attending workshops on a variety of French teaching topics, sharing ideas, speaking only French all weekend, at the beautiful Bellinzona Guest House in Hepburn Springs.
There is no other way to report on this event than by expressing immense gratitude. So, MILLE MERCIS Natacha Muller, director of The French Loop for guiding us during a whole day and showing us ways to create 'des occasions théâtrales' in our classes. An apt sub-title for l'Atelier théâtre would be FAIRE FEU DE TOUT BOIS, the name of one of the workshops proposed.
Yes, many of our members did fancy an end of year celebration with family, friends and colleagues. On Friday 1 December, 29 AFTV members celebrated the end of year with our Francophone Soirée at the Brasserie Franco Belge in Hawthorn East in their private dining room.
CHAGALL - an exhibition celebrating the story of an international master, among the greatest artists of the twentieth century, Marc Chagall (1887-1985). For a change we decided on a Sunday afternoon (29 October) to visit the CHAGALL exhibition at the Jewish Museum of Australia in Alma Road, St Kilda. This obviously appealed as we had well over 40 bookings.
On 19 February, 34 teachers from across Victoria and one who flew all the way from South Korea for the day attended the first session
of the AFTV 2024 Nailing it! series.
The workshop was a great opportunity for teachers of the VCE course to get together, network and discuss their understanding of the
course assessment requirements. During the workshop we examined how to design effective outcomes using examples, shared useful tips and
advice on how to prepare students, design rubrics, give effective feedback and what to keep in mind when marking Unit 3 outcomes.
On 25 March was held the AFTV online conference that offered a variety of professional learning sessions all aimed at supporting teachers to
build and increase student motivation in the French classroom.
The conference opened with a brilliant and thought-provoking interactive workshop by renown Dr Liam Printer on building intrinsic
motivation. The workshop was extremely well received, and we all gained practical ideas and renewed motivation ourselves! Thank you to Dr
Liam Printer for taking the time on a Sunday night at 10.45 pm Switzerland time to share his expertise with us.
