Developing dictionary skills
A French skills lesson to teach beginners how to use a bilingual dictionary effectively. The lesson starts with a questionnaire to assess how much students know about how a dictionary is organised and what the various grammatical abbreviations used in it stand for.
The PowerPoint includes the answers to the questionnaire and a series of activities to practise using the dictionary. These include a race to look up words in French and English as well as tips of how to take the context of a word into consideration when choosing the correct translation. A quick plenary response is also provided.

This looks like an excellent introduction to using the dictionary and I am already looking forward to trying it out in September.
