Cycle CECR : Première job – Gardiennage (A1–A2)

This CEFR cycle presents an authentic action-oriented task where students explore the concept of a first job through babysitting.

Through a structured progression (oral → reading → interaction → production), students develop their listening and speaking skills while learning to describe their personal qualities, responsibilities, and availability in a real-life context.

The cycle includes:
- a listening activity based on a video with three guided viewings
- differentiated A1 and A2 reading texts with comprehension questions
- model dialogues to support oral interaction
- guided planning using word banks and sentence starters
- a final task where students create a babysitting advertisement and participate in a simulated phone interaction with a parent

This resource aligns with the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) and uses scaffolded, oral-first strategies to support language development, including modelling, repetition, and structured interaction.

Students act as social agents by using French to communicate in a realistic situation involving offering services and responding to a client.

This cycle can be adapted to meet the needs of different learners and classroom contexts.
