This is a video listening task, aimed at Level B1 (Y12). A short interview on YouTube with a community social worker from the Tourcoing area. Gap-fill with a choice of words. Not too hard. Plus some brief conversation and summary. Best played at 0.75 speed. There are optional captions, but I would not use them unless the class is weak.
Another 'text discovery' pairwork task, this one about Montreal. I'm on a run with these at the moment. I think they would work really well for Higher GCSE (a good Y10-11 class). Sit back and watch the class communicate! As always, you can edit the texts and adapt them for other purposes. I am using Le Chat AI to help make these.
Another info gap text discovery task, this one for GCSE (Level A2). It's a third person description of a teenage girl, Léa. Students must find out the content of their partner's text. This is based on the same text used further down the page in the miscellaneous texts section. You could use them both for maximum recycling.
A text with exercises. A description of an imaginary 15 year-old, Léa. text, true/false/not mentioned (in both English and French), gap-fill, questions asked to Léa. Answers given. Good for Higher GCSE. Level A2. Scroll down the left-hand column to the miscellaneous texts section.
A text with exercises on current trends in home working (télétravail) in France. Text, vocab to find, MCQs, comprehension questions in French and lexical work. Answers given. For Y13 or a strong Y12. Level B1/2.
A 'current affairs' text — a summary of a France Info report on the amazing rugby match between France and England in the Six Nations. Bullet point notes to take in English, oral summary in French if feasible.
Another information gap, text discovery task, to be done in pairs. This one is about the main themes of the film La Haine. Level B1. Year 12 or easy Y13 revision.
Another information gap, text discovery task, to be done in pairs. This one is about ultra-processed foods. Not an A-level sub-theme, but health is an IB topic. You could use this with a really high-flying GCSE group. I always gloss the hardest words and this topic has a lot of cognates. Level B1.
This is a lightly adapted version of the previous paired, text discovery task — this one for A-level (Y12). Level B1. It's about the Puy du Fou historical theme park and fits with the 'patrimoine' A-level sub-theme. I've been there and it's superb.
