I have found as a French language teacher that using stories and videos is a great way to engage children and adults in learning a language. This audio story will help the students to practice their listening of the language whilst learning new vocabulary. This resource can be used with or without subtitles. Teachers of French as well as children learning French will enjoy this fun and delightful audio bilingual story which is a retelling of the story of Chicken Little by The Fable cottage. This read along book can be adapted to the speed of the reader and the level of French of the French students. This French online children’s story is one of the stories that you can find on The fable cottage website. You will be pleased with the variety of bilingual audio stories from different languages on that site.

The French experiment has also some good bilingual stories.

How to use this video?

1- There are subtitles in French and English .Select them (or switch them off ) using the CC icon.

Santa goes in holidays in Australia

This small audio book is written in French at a slow speed to allow the readers to follow the words in the text. This is a story of Santa who decides that he wants to leave the North Pole to spend some time in a warm country like Australia during December and get to meet different characters along the way who are worried that Santa might not deliver presents to them on time that year. At the end of the book if you click on the Advent calendar you get a new story or song for each day of the month of December.
