A resource on slavery in Guadeloupe. Two parts: first, a brief history with questions in English. Second, a set of TripAdvisor comments about the Mémorial Acte museum in Point-à-Pitre with a matching tasks and vocab to find. Good for Y12 (CEFR B1) as part of a heritage topic.

A 30 minute 'instant listening' task. The Channel Tunnel. Aimed at Foundation GCSE (CEFR A2). Could be used with a reasonable Higher group. Gap-fill with options and a faulty transcript to correct. Answers and translation given. Good intensive listening practice. Can be read aloud or played with the accompanying MP3 file (good text-to-speech).

Video listening. A 1jour1question video on strikes. What is a strike? Questions in English and vocab to find. Aimed at Y12 (easy A-level).

A crossword on fruit and vegetables (English to French). Mostly phrases with 'des'.

12 slides with complete beginner sentences to translate either way. Answers given after each slide. Students work alone or in pairs, perhaps to a time limit. A1.

A text with exercises about the pros and cons of bullfighting. This topic is back in the news as I write this. Text, vocab to find, lexical work and a paragraph to write summarising the arguments. CEFR B1/2. Good for Y13 or an excellent Y12. A-level theme of festivals, traditions and regions. I would use this text in conjunction with Cabrel's song La Corrida.

Video listening for Y12 (AS level). A two-minute, captioned introduction to the theme of heritage (patrimoine). The task is to translate sentences into French, using the text to help. I have pitched this to be fairly straightforward, with Y12 students in mind. Students can partly copy from the captions. It would make a good intro to the topic.

Video listening for A-level. A 2-minute, captioned video about how projects are undertaken in regional natural parks. Sentences to complete. Answers given. Good for Y13, or a very good Y12 class. CEFR B1.

A Y9 starter. 'Which time phrase?' Students see 15 slides, each one with a sentence starter containing a verb in past, present or future/near future. Students choose one of three time phrases given beneath the sentence.

A starter (or otherwise) called 'paired sentence completion'. Each pupil has 20 incomplete sentences to read to their partner. Pupils take turns completing the sentence they hear with a suitable word or phrase. CEFR A1.
