Je m'appelle

Madame Bramaud-Mombelli

Let me tell you a little bit about myself. I am French and come from La Côte d'Azur in France also known in the US as The Riviera. It is located in the South East of France close to Italy. After spending several years in Paris, my husband and I decided to relocate in NY with our three children. My one big passion is reading !

The students will...

2) gain an understanding of the French speaking cultures around the world. 3. appreciate how knowing the French language and culture can enrich their life in the community, give them access to resources in the language, and be life-long learners.

1) build proficiency in the three modes of communication – interpretive, interpersonal and presentational - through daily practice in target skills of listening, speaking, reading, and writing French

Les règles de la classe!

We try to stay engaged as much as possible. We do our best every day.

We come prepared into the class (homework, notebook, textbook and writing supplies)

We raise our hand when wishing to speak and we speak in a loud, clear voice so that the entire class can hear. Conversely, when someone else is speaking, we must listen attentively

The language inside the classroom is French

We avoid leaving the classroom unless absolutely necessary

Chewing gums and food are prohibited in class except on special occasions. Water is the only beverage allowed. We do not leave trash behind

Pedagogical Focus

- Vocabulary and communication

- Structure: grammar, conjugation...

HONESTY POLICY

Academic dishonesty is a very serious violation within a school community. Cheating and plagiarism constitute divisive and destructive forces that affect all members of Hunter. Those who cheat are dishonestly rewarded, and those who are honest are denied chances of pursuing various academic opportunities. As a result, honesty is threatened and cheating thrives, which is detrimental to the school community, creating mistrust among students, faculty, and administration, and also destroys Hunter’s reputation and academic credibility.
