French has an intricate system of verb conjugations. One of our priorities at French Kaliké is to help students conjugate verbs well from the DELF A1 level. This linguistic aspect sets French apart as a verb-rich language that necessitates a deep understanding of verb forms for fluent communication. A unique approach to learning French has emerged at French Kaliké, an institute that offers DELF A1 classes in Bangalore and other major cities in India. French Kaliké helps students naturally acquire the language through immersion rather than a prescriptivist teaching methodology.
More about the verb-centric approach at French Kaliké
Rohan Murti at French Kaliké adopts a verb-centric approach to help students ace the Speaking and Writing sections of the DELF and TEF exams. Our DELF A1 classes in Kolkata and other major cities focus on teaching verbs and Verbes à Particules (VAP) to speak and write effectively. Rohan assigns verb conjugations as homework to students regularly and offers individual feedback to help students pronounce these conjugations naturally. Hence, our approach to the DELF A1 is verb-centric, and it has helped several students score well in the Production Orale (Speaking) and Production écrite (Writing) sections of the DELF and TEF exams.
Which verbs are important at the DELF A1 Level?
Like most French classes in Bangalore, we focus on helping students master three categories of verbs at the A1 level: Group 1, Group 2, and Group 3 verbs. Rohan focuses on teaching verbs in context instead of assigning practice exercises mechanically throughout the course. Besides verb categories, our French classes in Kolkata and across India focus on moods in French: the conditional present tense, the indicative present tense, and the future tense. We cover all of these tenses and moods in our DELF A1 classes.
Features of DELF A1 Classes in Bangalore at French Kaliké:
1. The instructor records every session:
One of the distinguishing features of French Kaliké’s approach is the meticulous recording of every class session. These recordings serve as invaluable resources for students, allowing them to revisit lessons and reinforce their understanding of complex verb forms and their usage. This emphasis on revision and practice is essential for solidifying learning and building confidence. Therefore, if you are a student at French Kaliké, you need not worry about not being able to revise what was taught in class!
2. French Kaliké adopts a descriptivist approach:
Unlike conventional language teaching methods that prioritise a prescriptivist approach, French Kaliké embraces a descriptivist philosophy. Instead of adhering rigidly to formal rules, this approach acknowledges the dynamic nature of language and encourages learners to embrace the language’s evolving forms. This instils a sense of adaptability and comfort with real-life language usage, making learners more adept at conversing naturally.
3. Students participate in interactive class activities:
Interactivity is a cornerstone of effective language learning. Rohan at French Kaliké encourages active participation, ensuring that students grasp verb conjugations theoretically and contextually; through engaging activities. Role-playing, group discussions, and real-life scenarios simulate language usage, making the learning process engaging and enjoyable.
4. French Kaliké offers personalised feedback and guidance:
A standout feature of French Kaliké’s approach is the personalized feedback and guidance provided to each student. Verb conjugations can be intricate, and errors are a natural part of the learning process; so Rohan offers individualised attention, pinpointing areas of improvement and providing constructive feedback, enabling students to rectify mistakes and progress effectively.
