Five slides, each with a short paragraph with gaps to complete. No options provided, so a bit of a challenge! Use as a starter (maybe just one or two slides), or for general revision. CEFR A1/2.

A numbers starter for beginners (or a bit of mental agility warm-up fun for older pupils). The Fizz-Buzz game (+ three other simple numbers activities described). CEFR A1.

10 reading aloud passages (Higher Tier) with questions in preparation for the new GCSE (first teaching 2024).

In anticipation of the new GCSE in England (and maybe for general use), I have written 10 short passages for reading aloud, in exam board style, and produced an MP3 text-to-speech recording to go with them. Students could practise the passages, listen as you read aloud or play the recording. This batch is at FOUNDATION TIER. Scroll down the Y10-11 page, right-hand column. CEFR A2.

A phonics bingo game. Each students get a card with 12 words. Each word has a different, highlighted, vowel sound-spelling correspondence. The teacher reads out sounds (phonemes) and student cross out any word they see with that sound in bold in their words. Instructions are provided. CEFR A1.

I have uploaded a sheet with ideas for further developing the use of a mosaic translation task. These include ways to incorporate some more communication and gamification. This may be useful if you find the original task too limiting. Scroll down to the bottom of the Y9 page, left-hand column where you'll find all the mosaic translations.

Another mosaic translation activity, this one on the topic 'next weekend'. CEFR A1/2.

A set of slides for beginners about means of transport (in short sentences). A ready-made vocab lesson. CEFR A1.

An interesting video report about a young woman, originally Catholic, converted to Islam who defends her right to wear a full veil (niqab) in public. Questions in French. Model answers provided. CEFR B2.

One more mosaic translation for the collection. This one on the subject of the environment. Remember, these are designed to be accessible, and may suit your Y8 class, for example. CEFR A1/2.
