Another video listening based on a 'portrait d'enfant' video from Arte. This is about a boy called Sreehari in India. The task is to correct faulty sentences. The video is best played at 0.75 speed. CEFR A2.

Another 'portrait d'enfant' video, this one about a little boy from Corsica. We learn about his family's life as chestnut growers. I've put this one in the A-level section, under the heading heritage, Regions etc. Sentences to complete. Some chestnut-related specialist vocab in this one! this would suit Y12, but a very good Y11 class could handle it. CEFR B1.

Another video listening worksheet based on an Arte 'portrait d'enfant' video. This is Mohammed in Petra. Lots of camels and goats! Sentences to complete with options given. CEFR A2.

Intermediate video listening. This is a 'portrait d'enfant' video from Arte. Yayi in Togo. The task is to complete sentences with missing words.

Video listening. A report about people who cannot easily use the internet - 'illectronisme'. A short report, questions in French to answer. Good for AQA topic of cyber-society. Answers given CEFR B1/2.

Text with exercises. About the state of French film industry - unprofitable movies, huge subsidies, rising ticket prices. (Mind you - it's cheapre to go to the movies in France than the UK.)

Video listening. A second new 'portrait d'enfant' video listening worksheet. This one is about the life of a 10 year-old Afghan girl. False sentences to correct. CEFR A2. A good Y9 class could do this, as with the previous one I posted.

Video listening. I have added a new 'portrait d'enfant' video. This is called Prince au Ghana - prince is a young boy who describes his family, village and school - and is an easy listen. False sentences to correct. I intend to add a few more from the series to replace the older ones which Arte unpublished. CEFR A2.

I have been going through 'video listening' worksheet links on the Y10-11 page, changing any where necessary. Alas, ARTE have unpublished many of their 'Portrait d'enfant' videos, so those worksheets have been removed. A shame, as those videos are really good. I'll check out any new ones which could be written as replacements. Please let me know as soon as you find any dead links. Thank you, Christelle!

I have added another exercise to an existing resource in the A-level section. Check out the QR scams in France text and exercises in the section 'cyber-society'. CEFR B1.
