In our SoW, we unusually have a unit simply called
THE PERFECT TENSE
My grammarian colleagues love it, but I've struggled to model TL use & build fluency in a unit based on grammar rather than vocab & comprehensible input.
This year, I think I made it work... 🧵 #mfltwitterati1) First I introduced a 6-sentence 'story' of common language with reading aloud games, chorusing, etc.
Both avoir & être verbs right from the start to train fluency with correct auxiliaries. All regular patterns represented: -er, -ir and -re, but no explicit grammar yet.
