French in action audio files download

Capretz worked on an oral method, which was never published, in which they had kept the names of these two characters. Capretz maintained these names in tribute to the 'Method Boorsch' in each of the versions of his own 'methods' before reaching the current FIA. He had the opportunity to progressively develop the characters themselves during this evolution.

In later episodes, the classroom section is omitted, and the episode begins with the excerpt from the ongoing story. The series uses context and repetition, rather than translation, to teach the meanings of words. With the exception of a brief English language introduction at the beginning of each episode, the series is conducted entirely in French. In , three female students at Yale University filed a grievance claiming that the university's introductory French course was sexist in its use of the French in Action television series.

French in action: audio files? Message 1 of 19 18 July at pm IP Logged. Greetings, linguaphiles! This is my first post on the forum, although I've been dipping in for a while.

It was here that I first learned of the French In Action series. I've managed to get hold of the videos and have just bought the textbooks and workbooks. I've been able to acquire some of the audio files from the interweb but this page only seems to contain the text work up, not the aural exercises.

Does anyone know if it is possible to get the whole of the audio materials for this course on the net? Apologies if this question has been done to death - I've searched but haven't found anything to answer my question. French in Action has better shots of the face as actors are talking - very important for the student. Destinos ones tend to be shot from further back. French Course 1 teaches you the first 1, words of French and course 2 teaches the next 1, most common words of French.

These are taught with Memory Triggers, and can also be learnt with our French photoflashcards e-Flashcardz. There are over 40 families of these cognates or TurboBoosters and these can be learned in the exceltra French Grammar Slammer course and TurboBooster course.

Professor Barcroft of Washington University and the author of studies in Second Language Acquisition argues that students should learn lots of vocabulary in the first stage of language learning. He argues that one should not force learners into building sentences too early. I would also encourage the student to learn to conjugate French verbs, learn how adjectives work and how adverbs work in French before embarking on the French in Action series.

You will make quicker progress. In the introduction to the course the producer even explains that for the first few weeks of the course the students are '… uncomfortable because so much French is thrown at them' and the students interviewed say the same thing.

This could be greatly reduced by getting them to spend the first 2 weeks just learning vocabulary and delaying the start to grammar learning and sentence building. But learning vocab with traditional techniques is not going to give the learner much of a base. Capretz says that they do not translate because French is French. Well that may be the case, but there are many thousands of situations which can be translated.
