Academic support – Preparation for written and oral tests (French baccalaureate, competitions, etc.): why take French lessons?
★ You are a high school student, and despite a lot of work your grades are not keeping up; you feel discouraged. However, you had learned your course well and the grade received did not reflect your efforts: “what does the teacher really expect of me? »
★ You are a student in higher education or in a demanding sector, and you are unable to organize your work according to the new teaching methods of the sector in question: “how do I highlight my profile? »
★ You are a high school student or student, and you want to structure your reasoning and highlight your ideas: “how can I improve my work?” »
METHODOLOGY AND ORGANIZATION
1. How to work? Am I “notebook”? Am I “done”?
Often, the solution lies in the methodology and in the organization of the work. A good methodology and well-organized work will help maintain motivation in learning (like a safety net). An adapted methodology and organized work will allow you to better articulate your arguments, to better transcribe your ideas and to better reproduce your knowledge.
Through specific and personalized support, I offer you the opportunity to consolidate your learning method and understand the teacher's expectations. Understanding and applying the famous “method” is essential to structure your reasoning and then to clearly express your ideas and arguments. Personally, it took me a long time to understand what it was about, what was expected of me. Learning the course by heart and rewriting everything on the copy is ineffective and unsatisfactory: it is not what is expected. We expect from you an analysis organized around a problem in order to evaluate your interpretative and argumentative skills, by expressing yourself (orally or in writing) with an appropriate language level and good syntactic/grammatical mastery of your native language.
Training is essential. This is the advantage of the private course: I suggest that we regularly put ourselves in an exam or interview situation so that these are only a formality on the big day.
On the other hand, the organization of work is personal, it depends on your expectations, your needs, your objectives (and your type of memory). Together we will define a learning and work strategy that takes into account your personality, your learning context, and a methodology adapted to teaching.
STRUCTURING YOUR REASONING, EXPRESSING YOUR IDEAS
2. What is expected of me?
Knowing and reciting the course by heart (written or spoken) is not productive. It is fundamental to understand how the “method” allows you to structure your reasoning and allows you to properly express your ideas.
You should see exam situations as training for similar contexts in your future student or professional life (competitions, motivational interviews (for a job or for a major school), selection interviews, etc.). Also, it is essential to become familiar with this type of test, with this type of exchange for which you are asked to know how to organize your thoughts, to subtly showcase yourself by handling the difficulties with confidence during a written test. or by thwarting destabilizing questions during an oral test.
Through a particular and personalized accompaniment, I propose to you to acquire the reflexes and the tricks which will allow you to feel comfortable in class, in your learning and during the written and oral tests which concern you.
This is why, among the objectives of this particular and personalized support, I propose in particular:
★ to understand the issue of the written/oral test that concerns you and the criteria on which you will be evaluated;
★ to learn to manage your bad stress (stress can be a driving force, you have to know how to use it well), to adopt a suitable posture to position your voice and your gaze, thus promoting quality expression;
★ to understand the expectations of a written or oral test while becoming aware of your strengths;
★ to acquire effective editorial methodological reflexes (how to identify figures of speech? How to avoid paraphrasing?) and to gain intellectual rigor to develop your problem, your plan and put in place your argument;
★ to highlight your journey;
★ organize your ideas to be convincing;
★ to prepare yourself for destabilizing questions.
For students preparing for exams with grammar questions (CAPES, speech therapy, etc.), support can be supplemented with specific content in lexical spelling, grammatical spelling, syntax, conjugation.
