In this lesson, students will explore authentic resources related to strike culture in France and will use memes to show their understanding of the information and incorporate the vocabulary.
NCSSFL-ACTFL Can-Do Statements:
- I can explain aspects of the workplace using lesson vocabulary.
- I can understand and explain information about strikes in France through reading and viewing of non-fiction texts.

About the Activity
In this video, I share my insights on incorporating memes into language learning to boost student engagement. Drawing inspiration from an article by Wenjing Huang, I explore the use of AI and motivation in teaching vocabulary related to the workplace. The lesson focuses on students creating memes using existing vocabulary and cultural references, fostering ownership and interaction. No prior knowledge is required, just enthusiasm to learn and create!
