A grid to complete with -er verb phrases in the present tense. English-French and French-English. A narrow range of common regular verbs are used with a few notes to help students. The task could be extended by asking pupils to make up full sentences using a selection of the verbs.

Video listening. Interview with a former student from a lycée militaire, now at an IUT (Institut universitaire de technologie). Tick off the true sentences and translate/transcribe sentences. This could work with AS level, but probably best with advanced (A2 level) students. Nice clear recording.

Intermediate reading. Text about Sting not passing on his fortune to his children. Text, vocabulary, tick the true sentences in French, gap fill.

Parallel reading for near beginners. Vampires. Tick the true sentences, underline cognates and complete a word list. This could work from primary through to Y8.

Identifying attitudes and points of view. 100 statements covering 16 topics. Students mark them as POSITIVE, NEGATIVE or POSTIVE/NEGATIVE. This type of exercises often features in exams. Students could try all 100 in one sitting (about 20 minutes?) and see how they score.

Another set of 10 reading comprehension gapfills for intermediate (GCSE/IGCSE) level. These have a different format to the ones I posted three days ago. I quite like these: they assess comprehension without having to resort to English.

A set of 10 intermediate (GCSE/IGCSE) reading gapfills. This resource comprises 10 sets of 8 sentences, each with a gap. Students choose from a list of words beneath with some distractors. Answer key provided. Particularly good for GCSE and IGCSE paper practice (overlap/higher tier).

A-level/adult comprehension on video surveillance - pros and cons. Short paragraphs to sort into for and against, lexical work, discussion and translation. Filed under social issues on the A-level page.

Summary and worksheet on regular present tense verbs. Includes gap fill and translation into English. Useful revision sheet for Y8 or maybe end of Y7.

Advanced level translation from French to English on the topic of multiculturalism and integration. Rather relevant to the "Trojan horse" story making the headlines at the moment in the UK, along with talk of British values. Can ethnic minority values be accommodated within Republican values of France?
