Once they were seated, they completed the posttest on numbers (Appendix E). After completing the posttest, students worked in pairs to practice pronunciation of numbers (Appendix F). I walked around with a checklist to make sure they were on task and that they were producing language in French (Table 3B, page 20). Students were asked to get back in their assigned seats in order to go over the new lesson objectives. I explained that they were going to learn the body parts in French. I also explained to them that they were going to take a pretest on the body parts, which was to be completed in ten minutes. The seventeen students of the experimental group completed the 10-item vocabulary fill-in pretest, and were asked to translate the body parts in English. Since the students just had to translate the French vocabulary words which were given on the pretest, it was not necessary to write the target vocabulary on the board. Students were graded on their academic performance on the pretest, which had ten items, each worth 10 points. This grade item was worth 100 points (Appendix
