Lesson plan for teaching school subjects to near beginners (Y6-Y8). This is a teaching sequence taking about 40 minutes with optional homework or follw-up in ICT room. Good example of teaching clearly in the target language.

Video listening. Yannick Noah song Aux arbres citoyens. You can guess the topic. Simple gap fill for A-level.

Video listening. The song Frontières by Yannick Noah. Catchy little utopian number about difference. Gap fill with words provided, so quite accessible. Conversation suggestion added at the end of the sheet. You could try it with a very good Y11 group, but designed with lower sixth in mind (low advanced).

Video listening for advanced level. Air pollution. This short video from AFP/Youtube explains the science of air pollution and its effects on humans. It is fast, but clear. I have done questions in French with a vocabulary list to complete. Teachers' answers are given. I have also listed this task in the Adults section. I somehow feel the "s" is needed in "adults".

Video listening based on a short, but fast report on the International Space Station from AFP/Youtube. The speed of the recording may make it better for A2 (advanced) level. True/false/not mentioned exercise, plus suggestions for oral work. I have stored this in both the A-level and Adults section.

Video listening. Daily routine. Philippe is interviewed about his morning routine. The worksheet is linked to a France Bienvenue video with transcript and notes. The speed and vocabulary content make this suitable for very good intermediates (Higher GCSE). Offered as a free sample.

Parallel reading text with exercises for beginners (Y6 or Y7). Ladybirds. Tick off the true sentences, highlight cognates and complete a simple vocabulary list. See other animals topics: dolphins, spiders, whales, meerkats and more.

Video listening. A young man talks about his sport - weight training. This interview from France Bienvenue is accompanied by a transcript on the site. I have done two exercises: tick off the true sentences and questions in French. The latter have a slight focus on pronoun use. It could be done by a very good Y11 group, but I have put it in the A-level section.
