L'Académie française fut fondée en 1635 par le cardinal de Richelieu.
Les statuts et règlements visés par le Cardinal, avec les lettres patentes signées en 1635 par Louis XIII
   et enregistrées par le Parlement en 1637, consacrèrent le caractère officiel d’une compagnie de lettrés, qui
   se réunissaient auparavant de manière informelle.
La mission qui lui fut assignée dès l’origine était de fixer la langue française, de lui donner des règles, de
   la rendre pure et compréhensible par tous. Elle devait dans cet esprit commencer par composer un
   dictionnaire.
La première édition de celui-ci fut publiée en 1694, les suivantes en 1718, 1740, 1762, 1798, 1835, 1878, 1932-1935,
   1992. La neuvième édition est en cours de publication.

Le rôle de l’Académie française est double : veiller sur la langue française et accomplir des actes de mécénat.
La première mission lui a été conférée dès l’origine par ses statuts.
   Pour s’en acquitter, l’Académie a travaillé dans le passé à fixer la langue, pour en faire un patrimoine
   commun à tous les Français et à tous ceux qui pratiquent notre langue.
Aujourd’hui, elle agit pour en maintenir les qualités et en suivre les évolutions nécessaires. Elle en définit
   le bon usage.
   Elle le fait en élaborant son dictionnaire qui fixe l’usage de la langue, mais aussi par ses recommandations et
   par sa participation aux différentes commissions de terminologie.
La seconde mission — le mécénat —, non prévue à l’origine, a été rendue possible par les dons et legs
   qui lui ont été faits.
   L’Académie décerne chaque année environ soixante prix littéraires.
Mention particulière doit être faite du grand prix de la Francophonie, décerné chaque année depuis 1986, qui témoigne de
   l’intérêt constant de l’Académie pour le rayonnement de la langue française dans le monde.

    "FIPSVox is an experimental speech synthesis system for
     written French text developed at...the Department of
     Linguistics of the University of Geneva, in
     collaboration with the LAIP (University of Lausanne)"
Basically, you type in a French word or phrase, and your
browser pronounces it for you.  Always choose "avec
prosodie" rendering. FIPSVox uses a Parisian accent and
responds with clear, full-speed French.
    The system produces a *.wav or RealAudio file of your
sentence.  Initial delivery over the Web takes several
seconds on a slow modem, but you can store the spoken
phrase on your local hard drive and play it again and
again for "répétez après moi" practice.

 If you have pupils who like murder mysteries and speaking French, then this site
                            is a dream come true! Read about the murder, find out about the suspects and
                            solve the crime. Pupils won't even realise that they are actually doing reading and
                            listening comprehensions and grammar exercises. A lot of fun for pupils of all
                            ages as this site offers 4 different levels of difficulty. Thierry Perrot

 http://www.linguacentral.co.uk
Although this site may look a little busy at first, it is extremely useful for both teachers and
                            learners (from Year 7 all the way to Year 13); It offers online exercises and games in
                            French, Spanish and German and also contains a list of relevant language links. Well
                            worth a visit!

 http://www.fonetiks.org/
The main aim of this site is to allow people to hear and practise sounds in the
                            language of their choice. In order to access the whole pronunciation site, you will
                            have to pay a subscription fee. You can also access a French dictionary from the
                            home page by clicking on the flag and there is a list of language resources for
                            learners and teachers.

 http://www.parlez-vous.org/
Not only does this site offer links to French sites, it also provides a multitude of
                            links to the canadian culture, language and gastronomy! A great site to remind us
                            that French is not just spoken in France!

                            most of the links take you to authentic French or Canadian sites. Well worth a
                            look!

This site is divided into areas of experience and subdivided into each topic. For
                            each topic there are four or five exercises available and most of them involve
                            reading and writing, with a few audio ones. This is an extremely detailed and
                            complete site which pupils studying French will find very useful either when revising for the GCSE
                            exam or throughout years 10 and 11 to practise the topics studied in class.

 http://atschool.eduweb.co.uk/stpmlang/AS%20topics/topics.htm
This site offers exercises in some of the topics covered for AS: Gapfilling
                            exercises, reading comprehensions, vocabulary tests … It also suggests
                            different French sites for each topic for extra information and further reading.

 http://www.aupoint.nelson.co.uk/
This site works along with the AS textbook “Au Point”. It provides exercises to
                            match the vocabulary covered in the book. One drawback is that you have to keep
                            a couple of windows open at the same time and switch back and forth between
                            the two – for instance the reading comprehension text in one window and the
                            questions in another. The French grammar side of the book is well covered with a lot of
                            exercises. Like the previous site, it also provides a lot of links per topic for further
                            reading and information.

 http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/gcsebitesize/french/
This is a very famous revision site for GCSE. As well as providing exam skills, it

                            exam techniques. This site is also available in German.

                            make up some exercises for you. This site also gives a list of useful sites for

                            which students might find useful, including vocab lists, surveys and a lot of
                            grammar. This site is not always very user-friendly but it is well worth
                            persevering. Most of the interesting content can be accessed via the bottom

This site, created by the Guardian newspaper, offers speaking, reading and
                            writing exercises in a wide range of topics studied for GCSE. The site offers two
                            options: French with or without sounds. It also provides grammar rules and
                            exercises. The exercises are aimed at higher-level pupils. One drawback of this
                            site is that some of the exercises cannot be done online and have to be done on
                            paper with the correction available on screen.

 http://www.linguaweb.co.uk/
In this site, pupils have access to a complete lesson about each of the different
                            topics covered, as well as exercises to practise. The only drawback to this site is
                            that pupils can cheat by pressing “view the right answer”. This site also includes
                            some listening comprehension exercises and is also available in German. (Click
                            on the icon representing the pile of papers, and click on “higher”) This site
                            contains language tutorials on some topics as well as games and exercises. It only covers the
                            following topics but is particularly good for grammar: - plans for the future - the
                            future tense - holidays in the past - the conditional tense

                            exercises to practise. Students can check their answers on the spot. This site also offers
                            links towards other useful sites relating to each topic.

French Sound Structure, from University of Calgary Press.
French Sound Structure provides a comprehensive, detailed and well-illustrated description
                  of the pronunciation of Modern Standard French, incorporating comments on regional and
                  social variation, on abbreviatory processes and Rword playS, and on certain historical
                  phonological changes which continue to be reflected in the contemporary language. It is
                  written in a way that presupposes little or no formal training in linguistics proper (other than
                  some familiarity with phonetic notation, to which students of linguistics are normally
                  exposed independently). The accompanying CD-ROM is an additional valuable asset,
                 providing oral examples relevant to the linguistic material under study.

Description of AIM  workshop for French teachers:
Accelerated Integrated Method (AIM)
The Gesture Approach and Drama: A Holistic Approach to the Teaching of French
With Wendy Maxwell
First Two Years Of Instruction In Early Or Late French Immersion And In French As Second Language Grades 4 – 10
            In this workshop, Wendy Maxwell will show how music, drama and gesture work synergistically to
            rapidly increase second language (L2) acquisition. This approach, unlike most contemporary programs,
            is based on stories rather than on themes and allows for greater emotional involvement on the part of
            the L2 student. Moreover, the extensive use of song and drama gives plenty of opportunity for what
            Wendy refers to as "pleasant repetition", an essential ingredient in the development of L2 proficiency.
            This is a participatory "hands on workshop", in which participants will:

Note: from 'French Immersion, Yes you Can Help!' national edition from CPF Alberta:
(site for  CPF Alberta's book "Yes..." http://ednet.edc.gov.ab.ca/French/YYCHWE/Home.htm )
From the section titled 'Will my child be completely bilingual?',
'Studies and program objectives now closely link expected levels of competence in French for second-language
learners with the intensity and frequency of time spent learning and using that language.'
From the section titled 'How good is their French?',
'Studies of the various French second language programs clearly show that the more exposure students have to
French and the more they use it, the better their communication skills and the greater their confidence in their ability
to use the language. In fact, rarely if ever are immersion and core French programs compared anymore, as the results are so
dramatically different.'

Michel Thomas is head of the Michel Thomas Language Centers and has been teaching languages for over fifty years, primarily in New York, Beverly
               Hills and London. He is a graduate of the Department of Philology at the University of Bordeaux, France, and has studied psychology at the Sorbonne
               (Paris) and at the University of Vienna. However, it is his remarkable life experiences that have fueled his passion for teaching languages*.

               Michel spent most of his childhood in Germany and France. With the rise of Hitler, he began his years of escape and resistance. He spent two brutal
               years in Vichy France concentration and slave labor camps, constantly threatened by deportation to German death camps. He escaped deportation
               and fought for two years in the French Resistance Secret Army.

               Michel's wartime experiences, particularly his torture by the French Milice (Gestapo) when he discovered the ability to block out pain, made Michel
               Thomas aware of the untapped potential of the human mind. However, it was a single sentence -- a negative statement -- made by a psychology
               professor at the Sorbonne, which influenced Michel and changed his life. This statement -- "nobody knows anything about the learning process of
               the human mind" -- drove him to devote his life to probing the learning process. It is his deeply held conviction that the biggest weapon in
               maintaining a free society is education and an educated citizenry.

               Michel moved to Los Angeles in 1947. Here he set up his first language institute in Beverly Hills. Over a period of fifty years, he has developed a
               unique and revolutionary teaching system that has made him the world's leading language teacher.
What is the Michel Thomas method?
               Over a period of more than fifty years, Michel Thomas has developed and perfected a unique method of teaching languages. His approach gives
               startling results within a remarkably short time, all without the need for books, memorizing, or homework.

               In essence, Michel Thomas breaks a language down to its component parts and enables learners to reconstruct the language themselves to form
               their own sentences, to say what they want, when they want. The experience of learning a language becomes so exciting and satisfying that it
               stimulates self-motivation and builds confidence.

               Michel Thomas presents the language within simple, elegant structures that echo the way the language is spoken. He achieves this by guiding you
               through carefully planned sets of exercises that build up your understanding of the language almost without you realizing it. You are able to absorb
               the structures effortlessly and apply them naturally, right from the start.
Testimonials
               Emma Thompson, Academy award-winning actress and director, (as quoted in The Guardian): "The excitement of learning something new was
               overwhelming. Michel not only taught me Spanish, he opened my eyes to the possibilities of a completely different kind of learning. Michel forbids his
               students to practice, or to try to remember. Michel takes the burden off the student and upon himself.... Learning Spanish with Michel was the most
               extraordinary learning experience of my life-it was unforgettable."
