Some of the students completed the pages about the Francophone festival before spring break. Here are some videos about them listening to the app, then how they read the same text.
First, I had trouble to upload the original videos - maybe they were too big in size -, so I had to edit and cut them.
The students are listening to the French voice over, then they are trying to pronounce the sentences the same way. Of course their pronunciation is not perfect, but we all know that this is a learning process. Our goal is to expose them to the French sounds over and over again.
The main idea behind using the text to sound feature is that the students can hear how their own composition sounds. They get a one-to-one experience with the iPads, which would be very hard to provide with just one teacher, considering how limited our time is each week.
