This example IB French Lesson covers:

• Building vocabulary with spaced repetition. Using flashcard tools like Anki to learn words faster and retain them longer, rather than just reading a word and hoping it sticks.

• Turning vocabulary into usable writing. A technique for taking new words and forming full grammatical sentences with them, so students can actually use vocabulary in context, not just recognize it.

• Using complex sentence structures. How to start each paragraph or idea with a stronger sentence structure, both to earn marks and to make sure it isn't forgotten under exam pressure.

Why we teach it this way: Every technique in this lesson is something a student can use independently once they've learned it
