• Cultural Immersive: Use authentic resources-such as French media, music, and film-to give students a taste of life in the Francophone world.
• Progress Tracking: Provide clear, constructive feedback and use assessment data to ensure every student is on the path to success.
• Positive Presence: Maintain high standards of classroom management, creating a respectful and focused environment for learning.
