Part 1:
Preparing to Use ICT in Teaching

a. Aims and Objectives

The teacher's aim for the sake of this case study is to introduce learners to the topic 'Language of the Classroom'. In this case the learners are Year 11 pupils in a mixed gender comprehensive school GCSE French course.

Specifically, the teacher wants the pupils at this phase of their learning to:

  • Describe and discuss school life in France and in their own school verbally and in writing.
