A project by Theatre Sans Frontieres

La Chanson du Retour

TSF hopes to retour its fun and interactive theatre show in simple French for 8 to 12 year olds. La Chanson du Retour (The Song to Take You Home) is about a young girl, Léa, who finds herself transported into the strange world of her computer game and cannot get home without finding a mystery song. Packed with funky songs, rap, rhythms and dance, the show will tour to schools nationwide, reaching 5,000 children.

Why they need our service

Schools are always looking for innovative ways to teach foreign languages to their pupils. We have been able to respond to this need by developing this accessible French language production for primary schools and providing valuable extra-curricular resources. Recent research has shown that the UK is losing its place in the global marketplace due to its lack of language skills. The ability to speak a foreign language is an enriching experience and brings huge commercial benefits to employers.

Plan and expected results

With this project, we will imbue children with confidence and motivation in language learning, increase their well-being and self esteem and help them to discover the wider horizons that knowledge of other languages can open up, including more options for future employment.
