A set of five verb tests for pairwork use. In pairs students test each other on the given perfect tense verbs in English. There are notes to explain how you might use the tests. Good for Higher Tier GCSE (A2/B1).

A PowerPoint on buying meat, fish and dairy products (using partitives du/de la/des). Whole lesson sequence provided.

Video listening. Aya from Tunisia. One of the superb ARTE Junior video series about children from around the world. Starts and ends of sentences. Could be used with a fast Y9 class too.

I have been adding further text-to-speech recordings of instant listening resources on the Y10-11 and A-level pages. These give you the option of playing a recording rather than reading aloud or recording yourself. They sound slightly artificial, but I'd be happy to use them.

I have begun to upload some MP3 audio files to accompany the Instant Listening tasks on the Y10-11 page. They are "text-to-speech" recordings, so of good quality in terms of pronunciation, moderate in pace, but with slightly artificial intonation. You could use these instead of reading aloud or recording the texts yourself, if you prefer.
