SavannahG Posted October 8, 2013 Report Share Posted October 8, 2013 Hi everyone,I have yet another french class question!We're doing our individual interactive orals in less than a week, and I haven't even started...Why? Because I have no clue whatsoever how to do research in French on poverty and famine in Haiti. I'm looking for ways to do the research, should I search in French or in English then translate it? Keep in mind my French level is not the best and I'll be lucky with a 4 or 5 in SL French..So do you have any tips on how to do a French research project?Thanks!!

Blackcurrant Posted October 9, 2013 Report Share Posted October 9, 2013 (edited) Why not read in both languages? in English and French... The linguistic benefits will be obvious. And your reading will be more efficient ( no turning to the dictionary after every line). What is more, you will perhaps note differences in reporting style that could be made part of your interactive oral. This counts as a form of critical appreciation. Very valuable and can gain you points.Translation is not a good idea: you'll end up speaking English with French words. Fringlish. And it is not a terribly efficient way to go about things either. Much better to search for reports in French online or at the library of the local Alliance Francaise.
