Advanced level text and exercises on the decline of marriage. I have written this resource in the style of an Irish leaving Certificate (Higher) exam paper (with questions and short pieces of written production). I shall be doing a few more like this. They work well for A-level too.

Advanced audio listening on the right to strike in France. A short, one minute extract from France Info Junior with gap-fill, summary and translation. To go with the AQA A-level sub-theme.

Video listening. A video from Le Monde on YouTube about whether it's worth pursuing your studies at school and university. This short video has sub-titles. The task is to translate a passage into French with the aid of the video. Better for Y13 (second year of A-level). Vocab glossary and model answer provided.

Video listening. A report from Le Monde about how to interpret unemployment figures in France. Vocabulary gloss and questions in French to answer. Oral summary too.

Another PowerPoint Kim's Game for beginners. This one on pets, with a chance also to hear and use indefinite and definite articles. "Un chat". Qu'est-ce qu'il manque?" "Le chat".

Beginner alphabet fun. Two resources: (1) a list of games to practise the alphabet (2) an alphabet grid game in which you read out letter coordinates on a grid while pupils shade in boxes to create a picture. (Thanks to a teacher on the GILT Facebook group for that idea.)

Two Kim's Game PowerPoints. This is the classic game where you show some items then hide one or more at a time for the class to recall the missing item. These ones features fruit and veg and a hungry rabbit, and places around town. Beginners love this sort of memory game and it's a good vocab builder. Each presentation builds up in difficulty.

Parallel reading text. Why can't kangaroos walk? A short text translated from French to English with a comprehension task and vocab grid to complete. You could come up with other ways to exploit this too.
