A simple oral starter: the classic "Two truths and a lie." I've put this on the Y9 page, but you could do this with almost any level as a simple starter, filler or plenary. CEFR A2 up.

A text about immigration in France in 2022, based on figures from Insee. Includes historical trends and detailed facts and figures. Vocab to find and correct sentences to identify. Adult learners should find this interesting too. CEFR B1/2.

A 30 minute 'instant listening' task for GCSE Foundation Tier. Topic: describing a town (La Rochelle). Text to read aloud, true/false/not mentioned and gap-fill. Answers given. Optional MP3 track to play. CEFR A2.

A parallel reading task about the Mémorial Acte museum in Guadeloupe. This museum is concerned with the slave trade and issues of social justice. Parallel texts. True/false/not mentioned and vocabulary to find. CEFR A2.

Another 'Correct the transcript' task, this one about a night out at the cinema. Good for a strong Higher Tier GCSE class. As usual, there us an optional audio track. CEFR A2/B1.

A 'faulty transcript' (correct the transcript) task on the subject "Pollution in my city". Students hear the text read aloud by the teacher (or using the audio track provided by text-to-speech) and have to correct the transcript they have printed in front of them. This is a harder one for very good Higher Tier GCSE classes. CEFR B1.

Another narrow listening + exercises task. 'My best friend.' Four short paragraphs for the teacher to read aloud as students do their matching and true/false tasks. Lots of repeated chunks. CEFR A2.

Another resource to add to the Y9 collection of narrow listening tasks. This one is on the topic of family. Four short passages with multiple repetitions of common chunks. A matching and true/false task. Answers given. CEFR A2.

A starter called "Start my sentence". There are a total of 36 sentences. You read aloud the end, students note down or say the start (always a verb). Three tenses used. CEFR A2. On the Y9 page, but could be used with older students. Editable. Do as many as you want as a starter, filler or plenary.

Video listening (kind of). A short video showing the 10 most popular dishes in France in 2022. I have provided a possible commentary, but, depending on how much the class already knows, you could teach this informally, eliciting what the students (maybe adults) already know. CEFR B1/2. I have place this on both the A-Level and Adult pages.
