, Y8 (Very low intermediate)

A PowerPoint to practise or introduce the perfect tense (with sports). Multiple repetitions of j'ai joué and j'ai fait. PowerPoints like these can be used in so many ways: choral and individual repetition, true/false, guess the slide, showing small portions of the slide (iris tool), transcription, translation and more. For inexperienced teachers: really stress the phonological contrast of je joue and j'ai joué - this is a source of confusion for many students. It's good to iron it out early to avoid "fossilisation".

, Y8 (Very low intermediate)

A PowerPoint presentation on aller + infinitive (futur proche) with sports. images courtesy of pixabay.com (all uses permitted). You could use this one with Y7 or a weaker Y9 too.

, Y7 (Beginner)

A PowerPoint presentation on the topic of sport for beginners. Designed for oral exploitation with choral repetition, pair work and a little translation in mind. I have avoided publishing PowerPoints with images for copyright reasons, but the images I have used are from pixabay.com which allows for image use including commercial.

, Y9 (Low intermediate)

A fait divers about an amazing archeological discovery. A boy discovers historic treasure with his metal detector. Text, "find the French", true/false/not mentioned, questions in French and translation into English. I've placed it on the Y9 page (low intermediate), but you could use it with weaker Y10-11 or a brilliant Y8 class.

, Y7 (Beginner)

Video listening, reading, writing and speaking based on an Alain Le Lait video Dans ma chambre. Sing-along, true/false/ translation both ways, reading aloud, gap-fill for phonics development and writing. This would be great for beginners who have done a little work on bedroom vocab (as it were) and simple prepositions.

, Y12-13 (Advanced)

Video listening. A 1jour1question video about strikes (AQA sub-theme). Note-taking in French, oral and written summary. Some useful factual information. Answers provided.

, Y7 (Beginner)

A series of very short texts with various exercises about family. Matching, true/false, translation both ways and writing.

, Y7 (Beginner)

A picture with various exercises to practise prepositions. Vocab provided, then true/false, gap-fill, questions and oral pair work memory task. Could be used with a weaker Y8 group.

, Y12-13 (Advanced)

Video listening about wage inequality between men and women in France. Gap-fill with answers given. Best done in class as there are subtitles available! Some good factual information for a world of work A-level sub-theme (Edexcel). Interesting in its own right though.

, Y12-13 (Advanced)

Video listening. The Mémorial de Caen. 5 minute video from France4/YouTube with various exercises: spot exact statements from the recording, questions, find the French, true-false. Good for the heritage sub-theme with crossover to wartime France. Suitable for Y13 (year 2 of the A-level course). I've also placed this task on the Adult Student page.
