OMLTA/AOPLVYou are not alone!From the time I was nominated for director of OMLTA, my focus has widened considerably. First came thephone calls and emails from OMLTA executive members, what a friendly, helpful group of people. Then therewas the connections with other people who speak and teach French!My eyes were opened to new possibilities. As a result, I applied to and was accepted by OECTA as an instructorfor the FSL Part I course. Again I met people who speak French (some much better that me) and who teach (orwant to teach) French.Overall, the realization that there were others out there having similar experiences was very motivating. With thehelp of a couple of students (Thank you Lana and Vicky) we began to „chat‟ online! Once you get the hang of it, itis amazing!We, as French teachers, need to make that contact with other French teachers. When we connect, we feel lessisolated, less frustrated and very comforted by sharing our experiences, complaints and concerns with someonewho really understands. When we connect, we discover others‟ methods for dealing with problems and we canuse them (as is or modified). We begin to look at our own practices and share what works with others. We do notneed to “re-invent the wheel” as someone else has already dealt with the same issues. We can gain resources,methods, websites and software ideas to refresh our lesson plans, our jobs, and our lives.We are French teachers and we are not alone!Madame PletzerP.S. From May 13 to May 15 a group of French teachers from TCDSB signed on to share a wonderful weekendof connecting, sharing and learning as we visited our Nation‟s Capital. Ottawa is a great place to visit, with it‟s bilingualenvironment, bilingual „authentic‟ resources (information pamphlets everywhere) and it‟s rich museums,government buildings and monuments. We had a great time and all of theCore/Immersion/Elementary/Secondary we connected, sang, dance, ate, and talked, and talked, and talked!page 40
