About the Défi method

After extensive analysis, the pedagogical sector of AF opted for the international method that had the most current tools for learning a new language: o Challenge. International method, 100% in French, Défi was adapted exclusively for the Alliance Française Brésil chain. As it is quite current, it has several learning tools that make classes more interactive and facilitate the development of oral production and grammatical knowledge. Diversity is one of the strengths of the new method and French-speaking culture and societies are used as a raw material for language learning, transforming the classroom into a globalized environment, since, French is spoken on five continents.

Défi has reading strategies, listening and writing that allow students to naturally develop their French skills. Phonetic exercises favor oral development, more interactive classes encourage, further, French conversation and grammar is taught intuitively, raising a natural reflection on the grammatical points addressed.

Because of the epidemiological emergency that Brazil and much of the world live in this moment, Aliança Francesa Rio de Janeiro classes will continue with the same organization of students and teachers in digital classrooms, until the date it is released the quarantine pandemic. The reports have been very positive and this was only possible because support was set up to support students, with the secretariats of the AF, also digitally work will be shown and pedagogy team supporting teachers.

The courses have the same composition of students and teacher, Virtual classrooms. The educational content is maintained, because as the AF-Rio uses in their digital pictures classrooms, switching between BITs (abbreviation for digital pictures, in French) for computer screens went quiet way, since the content was already scanned. This was the way that French culture association considered it the most correct for the weekly fellowship and relationship among the members of the group were maintained.

The book "Adomania”Contains digital tools that support the method and facilitate learning:

- Digital book in the room, for a more dynamic class: students have access to the interactive whiteboard to perform activities.

- Digital parcours for the student: platform with 120 interactive and self-corrective activities.

- The student's book contains a DVDROM with all audios and videos.

With this new method, offered to students in virtual classrooms, the pedagogical approach to teaching french is focused on action and realization of projects, that take the French language to the students' reality. Students learn to work in collaboration and cooperation, which allows for efficient learning and makes them feel part of the group and actors of their own learning.
