These resources are designed to practise key question words in French, to help prepare students for coping with understanding the questions being asked by the teacher in both the read-aloud and picture tasks and to practise the questions which the students need to ask in the role-play. I have taken these from specimen papers published to date. In the case of the questions which students need to ask in the role-play, I have used the wording on the specimen papers - in many cases, the question which the students will need to ask will be the same or similar, so you can ‘train’ students on how they can use the same question or just tweak it slightly. The 2 posters included here have question words in both French & German and are also sold separately elsewhere in my shop along with other display materials.
