Children Watch 'Parlous Francais' on TV Authentic Program Filmed in France Children in Palatine-Rolling Meadows grade school system three weeks ago began watching television during school lime with teacher approval. The children perch atop desks to watch "Parlons Francais." It is part of a district cxpei iment to see if the television program supplemented with twice weekly visits by their French teacher will i effective teaching. Classes in Carl Sandburg and Jonas Salk Schools are being used in 1he pilot program. These classes will be com- paied with French classes where the teacher sees the children four times a week. A decision to enlarge or abandon the television-French classes will he made in early spring, according to District 15 Curriculum Director Marion Omiatek Classroom teachers have mixed reactions about the television program now in its fifth lesson "It's at least as good or better than the non-television program' 1 is the reaction of one group while others think their classes are ahead with the "live" French teacher approach The television French program can present more dra- matically real situations such as a conversation in a grocery store, French teacher Beverly Adams said.

Parlons Francais filmed in France, gives the children an insight into the culture, she added. MRS. ADAMS said the change in accent does not interfere with the children's learning, but helps train their ear for the language. Records used for drill in the fifth French class give the children experience with regional accents but authentic French. One of the objectives of the television program is to cut down the class load for French specialists, i a said Teachers are averaging 16 or 17 classes in a day.

Under the television-French scheduling, youngsters view television Monday and Wednesday and have their regular French teacher Tuesday and Thursday. Friday the classroom teacher works with them with drill records as in the conventional classes. Third graders' Monday television lesson showed two children talking about a dog The television instructor told the class whai the children were saying, asked them to repeat the dialogue in French. To change the pace, the children saw a puppet and learned a French song. During ihe program the attention of the majority of the class was riveted on the television screen and they carefully imitated the teacher when she asked them to repeat.

A fringe group did not participate as wholeheartedly. THE 1ELEVISION format followed the style of a District 15 French class. The Fiench teacher's enthusiasm communicates itself to the children who try to imitate her inflections. The quality of the teacher appears crucial in keeping the children's attention and villmgness to respond. Dorothy Hart, who believes in a fast paced lesson, uses props such as .1 dog, lollipop, a games to ceep peak interest The Foreign Language Elementary Speech program used by School District 15 follows this French instruction daily.

AT THE seventh and eighth grade level, the youngsters are selected for the further language study on the basis of their over-all academic record and language proficiency.

This year's eighth graders will be the first to graduate with five years of language behind them.

Palatine High School will grant one year's credit for their work.
