SUMMARY:Using Cinema in the Classroom - Teacher Workshop - 10:30 am
DESCRIPTION:On Saturday\, April 2\, in collaboration with the CT Chapter of the American Association of Teachers of French (AATF)\, the AFNWCT has invited professor Anne-Christine Rice of Tufts University in Boston to present a workshop titled: “La Grande Guerre: du cinéma à la salle de classe.” This workshop will discuss how even difficult relevant cultural topics\, such as WWI\, can be easily introduced into the classroom through the use of films such as the movie “Joyeux Noel” (PG-13). This workshop will give French teachers three levels of activities (depending on the level of the students) that they can take away and use immediately. \nRegistration starts at 10:30\, run through lunch and finish around 1:30 pm. \nFor the last 19 years Anne-Christine Rice has  developed an innovative method that places film at the core of the French language experience. Films are the springboard for class discussions\, language acquisition and cultural awareness.\nHer first textbook\, “Cinema for French Conversation”​\, now in its 4th edition\, established a series that includes Spanish\, German\, Italian\, Russian and Portuguese. Her latest textbook\, “La France contemporaine à travers ses films”\, continues to leverage film to explore present-day French culture and society. What started as an innovation in 2000 is now the standard. \nThe cost of this workshop is $25 for members of AATF or AFNWCT. $35 for non members and includes lunch. \nClick HERE to sign up through the website of the CT Chapter of AATF.
