What if as a student you could spend time learning about anything you wished?
What if you could explore this topic on a regular weekly basis?
Watch this video. It has a lot to do with my DRIVE project, self-immersion.
I required my students to immerse themselves in French by spending time studying French via the venue of their choice, be it studying cooking, listening to music or watching videos. As long as the topic was in French and it interested them, it was fair game, and they were not graded, only encouraged to do it for a minimum of ten minutes per day on a daily basis. I wanted to see the relationship between students grades and the amount of time spent on self-immersion. I hypothesized that students who spent time learning French for enjoyment without set parameters would have overall better mastery. I am still convinced that my hypothesis is correct.
