Role description:
Head to the family home to spend two hours immersing 9-year-old Anna in English through engaging, creative activities. Anna is highly creative and particularly enjoys crafts, dance, and music. She learns quickly when interested, but may disengage if the activity doesn’t capture her attention, so bringing several backup ideas is important.
Sessions typically begin with a craft activity (e.g., advanced crafts like origami), using English throughout and encouraging Anna to “try in English” when she switches to French. During the activity, maintain a shared vocabulary sheet: “Anna’s Words” (new English words or phrases).
After crafts, transition to lighter activities such as selecting and styling hairstyles for ballet while continuing conversation and adding to the vocabulary list. Music, role-play games (e.g., café or spa), and casual conversations based on English songs work particularly well.
At around 11am, walk Anna to her ballet class, continuing informal English conversation along the way. The key to success is keeping sessions interactive, creative, and varied to maintain engagement and maximize language immersion.
