During the session, I will speak to the importance of the oral component in a French Language Program. I will briefly describe the importance of research-based approaches, such as the Neurolinguistic Approach. I will then share the program I created with support from Le Conseil Français (ATA). There will be time to explain and play some of the 25 oral games that are part of the program. All games use the Neurolinguistic Approach and are created using the new program of studies for French immersion (Grades K to 6). Participants will leave with a copy of the program
