Coventry University Staff and Students work with Year 7 students to deliver the "Microville" activity. Students visit an imaginary French Town and act out every day situations such as buying a postcard, visiting a museum, ordering food at a French café, booking a hotel room and even a visit to the zoo! Native French speaking Coventry University Student Ambassadors acted out the role of hoteliers, shopkeepers and police officers. Students also build and decorate their own mini French town out of cardboard and label it in French.

 

The aim of the activity isto encourage Year 7 students to participate in day to day conversation, as they would in everyday life in France.
