NEW!!!!--Live French Club online broadcast Nov. 9, 2009 

On Monday, November 9 at 6:30 p.m., my French students will host a live 30-minute broadcast online in honor of National French Week. Students will share why French is important to them, and we will also share information regarding the importance of French in our society and in our global business climate. You can view the show here: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/celebrate-national-french-week and if you go to http://ustream.tv and create an account, you (your students, parents, etc.) can participate in the chat session occurring during the live broadcast. The show will also be available after the live broadcast (but chat will not be available).


We hope to generate a lot of viewership for this unique activity, so please help us spread the word! And...stay tuned: to celebrate all languages, we will be doing a 24-hour marathon broadcast in February for Discover Languages Month. We will be looking for community members, parents, students and other teachers and speakers of all languages to participate!!!

Bonjour !


My name is Nicole Naditz. This year, I am teaching French 1, 2, 3, 4, and AP. All lessons are aligned to the new World Language Content Standards for California Schools K-12. Download the standards here.

Please scroll for more information about my classes or use the menu on the left.


Listen to Mme Naditz and others discussing the importance and benefits of language study on Capital Public Radio March 17, 2009.


This year's online projects on wikispaces :

Over the course of the year, each class will build at least two wikis. The "monespace" wikis will consist of pages designed and edited by each student using the vocabulary and structures they are learning. The "francophone world" wikis will require students to work in groups to upload information about a French-speaking country or region of their choice. Visit them frequently to see them grow (or use the "notify me" tab on each wiki to be notified when they are updated--go to the pages your student is working on and click on the "notify me" tab to be notified of changes to those pages).

College credit from CSUS for French 3 and 4 students

Once again, the French 3, 4 and AP students will all be eligible for college credit through Sacramento State University. For more information, contact me!



French 4/AP is also connected to L'Institut Saint François de Sales in Belgium, with whom they will correspond over the course of the year. Click here to visit last year's epals wiki, an online, collaborative virtual correspondence page.

French 3 is also corresponding to the same school. Click here to visit their epals wiki from last year.

This year, both classes will be doing a more traditional e-mail exchange, but we will create a class wiki for each group. Check back later for the link.



PowerPoints available online

  • You can view PowerPoints used in classes. The PowerPoints are useful for review or to provide extra help if a student has been absent.To see the PowerPoints I have created to teach new material to my students, click on "Resources" on the left, then scroll down to view uploaded files. If you haven't yet downloaded the patch from Microsoft allowing you to save, edit, and view documents created in Microsoft Office 2007 (files with the extention .docx and .pptx), you can get the patch here. 


Other resources on this site

  • Remember that the textbook has a companion web site. Students can find additional practice and quizzes (with immediate feedback) and also flash cards (with pronunciation). Click on "My Links" on the left and then scroll to your class and click on "Classzone" (for levels one and three). Level 4 students have already created accounts on the web site that accompanies their textbook. They will at times be assigned homework that is submitted directly to me via this web site.
  • Additional resources are also available at "my links", including streaming audio and video to perfect students' listening comprehension.

  • Feel free to contact me with questions, comments, or concerns.
