I've updated two documents on the A-level page to do with the French political system. This is to take account of the recent elections.

A narrow listening task: "A visit to Paris". This is based on an existing resource, but with verbs put in the near future and other adjustments made. True/false and matching. Answers given. Could be used with a strong Y8 group too. CEFR A1/2.

Video listening. A short, captioned interview with a dental assistant. Vocab to find, a short gap-fill to do and five sentences to write. Answers given as usual. This might suit an 'average' Y10-11 class. The captions help a lot with the comprehension (CEFR A2).

Video listening. A 2m 20 video with French captions about the work of an Air France airline pilot. Vocabulary to find and some sentences to produce. Interesting insights! Good for a very good Y10-11 class (CEFR A2). The captions help a lot.

An advanced level video listening task about social media and whether it enhances or damages democracy. Clever short explainer video from France Télévisions. Vocab to find, summary in English and French to do.

A starter activity for lessons about politics. A set of statements to agree or disagree with, plus a chance to talk about general attitudes, either in pairs, or with the teacher (B1). Fits in well with the AQA sub-theme about young people's engagement with politics.

An "Ask the experts" communicative task on the topic of French cinema in 2022. This looks at aspects such as history, government support, exports, film genres and more. All instructions given (B1/2).

A dialogue for reading aloud and adapting. Topic: favourite meals. Written with adult learners in mind, but easy to use with older pupils (CEFR A2). Check out the Adults page for many more dialogues like this one.

A gap-fill exercises on the perfect tense (avoir verbs). CEFR A1.

A simple PowerPoint: à la pharmacie. Nine common items to buy with partitives or indefinite articles. Includes a quick explanation of the difference. (A1)
