Some testimonials:
- Le Grand Concours - Should I Give it This Year? by Laura Faga, CT
- Le Grand Concours - deux ou trois mots à ce sujet by Daniel Bromley, WA
- Memories from Prof. Kennelly
From Mme Walker's 4th grade students:
-
- That was fun!
- It wasn't as hard as I thought!
- That was more fun than French our regular French class! (Though class is fun, too!)
From Mme Leslie's French 3 students:
As far as tests are concerned, this one was rather enjoyable, they told me:
-
- "Not a bad way to spend a Wednesday morning..."
- "Fun, even!"
ALL levels have been extremely engaged while taking this exam.
Mme Enzor-Finelli:
"When I sent out the testing info to excuse my students from first period, I got multiple emails from faculty/staff saying how cool they thought it was and that they didn't even know it existed! I'm excited to have another occasion to promote our French program!"
M. Johnson:
"The National French Contest seems much more student and teacher friendly now that it ever has been. I have taught French for 48 years and have been involved with AATF and the NFE the whole time. Everything seems more welcoming, inclusive, and supportive than ever."
