Practice French using pronouns in context - Advanced level activity

This is a three part French lesson for upper - intermediate to advanced level students that will assess three different skills: listening, reading, and choosing grammatically correct pronouns in a given context. It is a good idea to wait and have students check their answers once all three steps of this activity have been completed. Once the whole activity has been completed, they may want to go back and change some of their answers before checking them against the answer key. This activity is more challenging than a typical series of sentences pulled out of context. Students will really need to follow the story in order to use the correct pronouns.

This text is written in many different tenses. The pronouns used in this text are as follows:

• Direct object pronouns
• Indirect object pronouns
• Y and EN
• Reflexive pronouns
• Relative pronouns
• Relative composed pronouns
• Possessive pronouns

Included:

• Lesson plan
• Audio recording - Comprehension questions - 8.5 minutes

Step 1: Listening comprehension

1. Before having students listen to the reading, be sure to have them listen to the audio recording of the comprehension questions to know what to be listening for in the reading. I am including a written copy of the comprehension questions in case your students feel stuck and really can’t understand.

2. Have students listen to the reading once without trying to answer the questions.

3. Pause and replay the parts of the recording they didn’t understand, and remember that many pronouns are being used. They will need to pay very close attention to context. Tell them they'll have an opportunity to change their answers if they want to in the next step.

4. Have them listen to recording of the comprehension questions again, one question at a time. They should try to answer as many of them as they can, and don’t hesitate to go back to the reading to listen again for details.

Step 2: Reading comprehension

1. Students read the text all the way through, then go back and have a look at their answers to the comprehension questions. They can listen to them again if needed.

Step 3: Pronouns exercise

1. Complete the multiple choice exercise.

2. Once they’ve finished the multiple choice activity you can give them a final challenge and have them complete the fill in the blank exercise.

3. Now it’s time for students to check all of their answers using the answer keys provided.
