I have uploaded a Higher Tier (or even Y12) listening task based on the 'Influencers' reading text I previously uploaded. You can read aloud the text or use the MP3 file I created. The task is to correct a faulty transcript, find vocabulary and do a bullet point summary in English. The text is quite hard, but the faulty transcript exercise provides an effective scaffold.
A short text with exercises. 'What are social media influencers?' Vocabulary to find and a bullet point summary in English to write. Suggested points provided. Suitable for good Y10 or Y11 (CEFR A2).
A zero prep game/activity to practise hearing and using jamais with the perfect tense, e.g. je n'ai jamais vu Star Wars. Instructions, examples and possible extensions suggested. Would suit Higher Tier GCSE (CEFR A2).
Video listening. This is a 1jour1question video (1m 41) about bullying in school. Gapped English sentences to complete and vocabulary to find. Suitable for good Y10-11 (CEFR level A2).
A collaborative task called "Who's coming to dinner?" Small groups of students present the case for chosen guests at a dinner party. They decide who should come. A sort of variation on the old 'balloon debate' idea. Scroll down the right hand column to the discussion tasks. Useful for an advanced adult class too.
A text with questions about Emmanuel Macron's new plan to reduce bullying at school. Questions in French. Answers given. Designed with Y12 in mind, but usable in Y13.
A text with questions in English. This is the story of a woman who became a prison guard, fell in love with an inmate and became a prisoner herself as a consequence. The linked text is long and suitable for Y13, no earlier.
PowerPoint presentation. Qu'est-ce que tu as fait pendant les vacances? Slides, teaching sequence, follow-up activities and further ideas for exploitation. I put this on the Year 8 page, but it might also suit Y9 or even above.
A beginner PowerPoint. Qu'est-ce que Fifi et Spotty vont faire? A slide sequence with follow-up activities.
