Ça marche! French 1 and French 2 Curriculum.
Exploratory and French 3 are coming in FY 25-26.
Welcome to Ça marche!, an innovative French language curriculum designed to make learning engaging and effective. Whether you are looking for a primary curriculum or a supplemental resource, Ça marche! is tailored to meet your teaching needs with a focus on comprehensible input and comprehensive grammar instruction.
These lessons are intended for classes that meet on an A/B schedule or a 4X4 block schedule. They can be adapted for daily classes that are shorter. We will publish our own shorter lessons in the future for the 25-26 school year. Lessons for 50-60 minute classes/daily schedule will be published for FY 25-26.
