Erudits - For Schools
Complete, curriculum-aligned CERCLE units for Australian secondary French - done for you, ready to teach from Day 1.
The CERCLE proposition
Every French teacher faces the same underlying challenge - finding time to build units that are culturally rich, linguistically sequenced, and genuinely engaging, on top of a full teaching load. CERCLE solves that problem. It gives your teachers ready-to-teach units that are complete from Day 1, and a repeatable pedagogical framework they will use to build their own units long after the PD day is over.
The problem every French teacher knows
Planning units that are curriculum-aligned, culturally authentic, and classroom-ready takes time most teachers do not have. The result is programs that rely on textbooks, worksheet packs, and the same topics every year.
The CERCLE solution
Complete units - done for you. And a method your teachers internalise so that next year, and the year after, they build with confidence. The resource and the professional development are the same thing.
The CERCLE Method
CERCLE is not a set of resources tied to one syllabus. It is a way of thinking about unit design that any French teacher can apply to any topic, any year level, any Australian curriculum document.
C
Culture
Authentic Francophone stimulus before any grammar instruction. Students encounter the world of the language first.
E
Ecoute
Staged, scaffolded listening. Students hear language in context - for pattern and meaning, not perfection.
R
Rythme
Purposeful repetition and retrieval. Language moves from recognition to automatic recall.
C
Construction
Scaffolded writing with progressive independence. Grammar taught in service of meaning.
L
Langue
Real oral interaction. Students test ideas in conversation - with the unpredictability only speaking provides.
E
Expression
Audience-facing output. Students produce language with depth and confidence - because five phases came before it.
