I have begun uploading a few resources for the WJEC GCSE exam in Wales. The first is a couple of model writing tasks based on Le Petit Prince and Les récrés du Petit Nicolas. These are supplmented with gap-fill tasks. Level A2.

A current affairs text to summarise in English, then orally in French. About the awful tragedy at the bar in Crans-Montana, Switzerland. Level B2.

This is a different type of task. Students must reconstruct the main points of the teacher's text on so-called intangible cultural heritage by asking questions provided. They listen to answers, take notes and summarise back orally. Then they see the text and do the exrcises provided (MCQs, gap-fill and lexical work). Level B1/2. Best for Y13.

A text with exercises about workplace discrimination. Text with factual data, vocab to find, multi-choice questions, comprehension questions and questions for general discussion. Good for Y13. Level B2. I used the AI tool Deepseek to make most of this resource.

A basic introduction with slides to the present conditional. Usage, formation, multi-choice, gap-fill and translation. Very easy, with not too many examples. A good starting point for direct instruction on the conditional. Answers given. Level A2.

A lesson plan based on the 'disappearing text' idea. A simple text, then a series of three more slides with an increasing number of gaps. Suggestions on how to exploit the slides are given. Requires all four skills and lots of repetitions. Level A1.

A grammar/vocab sheet on adverbs. Multi-choice, sentences to write and translation. Answers given. Level A2. Good for Higher GCSE.

An advanced text with exercises. This is an account from a physically disabled man living in a specialised care home. Text, vocab to find, multi-choice questions, questions in French and a gap-fill task. Answers given. Level B2. Good for Y13 in England.

Video listening. A lovely short report from the Ministère des Solidarités in France about 9 year-old Marius more than coping with a physical disability. Questions in French. Conversation. Optional captions and 0.75 playback speed, but this is short and not that hard. A really good Y11 class could cope. Level B1.
