Royal Russell Year 7 French Pupils are Reaching for the Skype! - January 2012

Published on isbi School News dated Friday 20th of January 2012

As the New Year commences, our Year 7 French pupils are embarking on a new adventure! Their curiosity to learn the French language, about its people and culture has led to the start up of a regular Skype session with native Year 6 French pupils from Paul Fort primary school in Vitry le François, in the Champagne-Ardennes region.

During each session each pupil has the opportunity to converse in French and English with their French 'pen pals', which they thoroughly enjoy. This is a great activity which boosts our pupils' confidence with their French linguistic skills and creates an authentic atmosphere in the classroom. Languages Department.
