We talked about authentic experiences, exchanges, visits to museums and historic sites with francophone guides who are very comfortable speaking the language. When the students visit a fort or look at a statue, the guides, whose first language is French, interact with a group of young people and give them an opportunity to have a certain experience. That is what we are looking for as teachers, once we are outside the classroom.
