An information gap 'text discovery' task about the Cannes film festival. The same format as previous tasks of this type. Sit back and listen to the students communicate! Level B1.

This is a 'correct the transcript' task for Higher GCSE. The text is about the actor Omar Sy. The teacher can read aloud their version or play the MP3 text-to-speech file provided. Good for the AQA celebrity culture topic. Level A2.

This is two spinners to practise the verb aller (all present tense forms) + places. Students must conjugate aller and insert either au or à la. Good for revision once the chunks have been already embedded. Could be used for Y8 and Y9. Level A1.

A new Y9 starter - present tense spinners. Common regular and irregular verbs to revise. Level A1.

A current affairs text with bullet-point notes to do in English. This is a Le Chat Mistral AI summary (edited, with some words glossed) of the results of the second round of the municipal elections. Sources are: Huffingtonpost, Europe1, Franceinfo and AFP. Useful background for A-level or IB students doing a politics theme. Level B1/2.

A text with exercises about sleep. A short text made with Mistral AI (based on an article from 1jour1actu) with a few words glossed, true/false/not mentioned, gap-fill and conversation questions (which could also be written down). Then some harder true/fasle statements. Answers given. Level A2 (Higher GCSE, but not too hard).

This is a 1jour1actu video about the role of children in the French Resistance. Gap-fill of sentences based on the transcript. Level B1/2.

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.
