I am updating the knowledge portfolios for A-level students. I last did this in March 2025, so these are light updates really, with added data from 2025. Edexcel is done. The others will follow shortly.

Two spinners on a PowerPoint slide to practise conjugating regular -er verbs in the present tense.

Two PowerPoint spinners for practising the perfect tense with common irregular verbs. Could be used with Y12 too.

Two spinners (Powerpoint slide) for revising the present tense with common irregular verbs. You could use this with Y10-11 too. Thanks to Jennifer Wozniak for the template.

A text with exercises about social bots, with examples from francophone countries. Text, vocab to find, MCQs, lexical work, comprehension questions, summary and translation into French. Lots to talk about here too. Good for Y13, AQA theme cyber-society. Level B2.

A paired dictation task, using the perfect tense. Each partner dictates a 100-word passage to their partner phrase by phrase (pauses are marked in the text). A challenging task for a very good GCSE class. This is harder than the dictation they will get in the GCSE exam. Level A2.

Another 'spot the differences' listening task for Y10-11 (GCSE). Students listen to two texts, take notes and compare with a partner or the teacher the differences they hear. Topic; 'A series I watched'. Level A2.

This is a text reconstruction task, based on an article about how well the perfume industry is doing in France and elsewhere and how the market is changing. You can either follow my instructions (more interesting and communicative), or just use the text and exercises. Level B1.

Three model writing tasks for WJEC Unit 4. Sections are marked in bold for student to adapt. Teacher notes are given, with a link to the relevant WJEC mark schemes. Level A2. These would be useful for students doing other exam boards.

A ser of ten GCSE situational role-plays to read aloud and adapt, done in the WJEC format. Level A2.
