BACK TO SCHOOL ICE-BREAKERS FACTS ABOUT LANGUAGES TWO SET OF 36 FACTS CARDS @ £2.50 EACH The resource is non-editable in a zipped format. It is copyright, all rights reserved. It may not be copied, rewritten, amended, shared or distributed, in whole or in part, outside your own classroom in any way. The license for purchase is a single-license only. Please read the Terms of Use. The facts focus on world languages, and is a great whole-group learning activity at any time of the school year. They’re particularly useful as***ice-breakers in the back-to-school phase***, as it’s a very social activity, and really gets students up from their desks, walking around talking to each other. The information addresses a very wide range of languages topics, from world history, history of language, varied fields within linguistics to global languages facts for example. The cards are designed for older students, as the facts do require a certain level of world knowledge and language awareness, and particularly world geography. I always screen a world map first, pointing out continents, countries, regions and territories and so on, because using the cards is also a great way of actually learning about the world, its history, shifting geographical and political borders, migrating populations and so on. I use the cards in various ways: for example, a really popular method is the walk and talk activity, where students take a card each, walk around the classroom, exchanging facts - when they’ve shared the information on their card, students swap cards, and carry on walking — in this way, they encounter the same facts a couple of times, which really embeds knowledge. I tend to do this activity several times across the school year, following it up with an informal whole-group quiz, particularly when I feel that students need a break from more formal learning. I also use the cards as either entrance or exit cards - again, followed by a quick quiz at several points in the year - simply turn the language on the individual cards into a question format. This works really well when students quiz each other, which moves them away from teacher-led learning towards more independent and social learning.

Please note this is the World Languages version of my European Day of Languages Facts about Languages set: if you have already purchased that set, there is no need to purchase this one. THANKS AND ENJOY THE ACTIVITY!

KS4 FRENCH KS5 FRENCH A LEVEL FRENCH CONDITIONAL TENSE CONJUGATION PRACTICE RESOURCE BOX five workbooks, each focusing on a particular French verb group in the ***conditional tense (le conditionnel)***, with 150 conjugation questions (750 conjugations in total)***, and complete answer keys, five workbooks @ £1 each. They’re ideal for advanced KS4 French and KS5 French A Level French students who are beginning to work with more***complex language and texts in French, including authentic resources, and developing their knowledge of tense and mood in French. The workbooks focus on formation and conjugation, rather than usage, though it’s definitely useful to remind students of a number of things when focusing on or revising tense and verb formation and conjugation. Language learners tend to conflate what they know about grammar in their first language, with that of the language they learning. For example, students with English as a first language often look for a word that is the direct equivalent of would, until they familiarise themselves with the fact that the notion of conditional is implicit in the verb itself, indicated in the verb ending. For this reason, I often introduce the future tense closely with the conditional tense - the patterns are similar, and it’s really useful for students to compare and contrast tenses, both in terms of formation and usage. French reflexive verbs tend to require additional practice - firstly, the correct reflexive pronoun, and secondly, its location within a clause or sentence in relation to the pronoun and verbs. I’ve found that this kind of conjugation drills workbook really helps students to recognise and predict conjugation patterns, and that when my students are able to provide the correct conjugation very quickly, and out of a specific context, they feel really confident that their conjugation skills are developing well. The verbs groups are: regular French -ER verbs regular & irregular French -RE verbs regular & irregular French -IR & -OIR verbs regular & irregular high-frequency French verbs reflexive verbs I’ve used these ‘quick conjugations’ for many years with my French classes. My students definitely find them to be a great way of practising, reinforcing and revising how to conjugate essential verbs in French. I use them in a range of contexts such as independent work either in class time or at home, holiday refresher work, or individual activities for cover lessons. I tend to give my students regular opportunities to practise the conjugations during the whole schools year, and they find this really useful for mapping their own progress and developing their overall understanding of how French conjugation ‘works’. Though the workbook focuses solely on the correct conjugation of verbs, and does not look at word order in the context of full sentences, there are conjugation patterns that students can***learn, recognise and apply***, ensuring that their spoken and written French is accurate, and that their understanding of French across the skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing is robust. Students become very familiar and confident the more they work with conjugation, and these quick conjugations certainly help to embed that successfully. Each set is structured as follows: Two alphabetical verb reference lists: French-English and English-French. Three conjugation challenges, each with 50 individual conjugations: Conjugation Challenge 1: each verb conjugated in French across a range of pronouns, with students writing the corresponding English verb conjugation. Conjugation Challenge 2: gives the infinitive of each verb in French, specifying the target pronoun. Students write the corresponding verb conjugation in French. Conjugation Challenge 3: students write the corresponding French verb conjugation, and its infinitive, from an English prompt. Notes and Next Steps template which students visit regularly - it really does encourage them to think about where they are now, how confident they feel, and what they might need to work on a little more to be absolutely sure of their conjugation skills. We also note down any new verbs we meet, which enables students to build up their own verb vocabulary bank. It’s a great tool to guide and inform whole-group discussion about learning and progress in general, which is a really successful and popular activity. answer key: 6-page booklet which is absolutely essential in my view. Answer keys help students develop more independence in their learning, and provide them with an additional opportunity to engage with language and grammar.

GCSE FRENCH KS4 FRENCH KS3 FRENCH NEAR FUTURE TENSE CONJUGATION PRACTICE There are five workbooks, each focusing on a particular French verb group in the near ***future tense (le futur proche)***, with ***150 conjugation questions (750 conjugations in total)***, and complete answer keys, five workbooks @ £1 each. The verbs groups are: regular French -ER verbs regular & irregular French -RE verbs regular & irregular French -IR & -OIR verbs regular & irregular high-frequency French verbs reflexive verbs My students really like this kind of grammar activity, as they like to work and learn independently, which is a successful way of varying teaching and learning methodologies - I’ve found it’s really important to avoid predominantly teacher-led learning in the languages classroom. There are 150 conjugations across 3 differentiated conjugation challenges with a full answer key in each set. I use these kinds of workbooks in lots of different ways: for practice during the introduction phase, for independent choice in class time, for home learning, for practice and revision during vacation and at return to class, and for cover lessons - they’re really versatile, and ideal for advanced KS3 French to beginner KS4 French students who are beginning to work with texts that feature multiple tenses, want to practise and refresh their conjugation skills in French, and practice the near future tense in French a little more. I’ve found that when my students are able to provide the correct conjugation very quickly, and out of a specific context, they feel really confident that their conjugation skills are developing well. The workbooks focus on formation and conjugation, rather than usage, but it’s definitely useful to remind students of a number of things when focusing on or revising tense and verb formation and conjugation. Language learners do tend to conflate what they know about grammar in their first language, with the language they are learning. For example, students with English as a first language students often use the construct je suis aller travailler instead of je vais travailler as a translation of I am going to work. Usage in both English and French is really similar with this tense, and I do always discuss that this is not always the case with tenses and moods in languages. Though the workbook focuses solely on the correct conjugation of verbs, and does not look at word order in the context of full sentences, there are conjugation patterns that students can***learn, recognise and apply***, ensuring that their spoken and written French is accurate, and that their understanding of French across the skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing is robust.

KS3 FRENCH KS4 FRENCH GCSE FRENCH SIMPLE FUTURE TENSE CONJUGATION PRACTICE There are five workbooks, each focusing on a particular French verb group in the ***simple future tense (le futur simple)***, with ***150 conjugation questions (750 conjugations in total)***, and complete answer keys, five workbooks @ £1 each in the pack.

For example, students with English as a first language often look for a word that is the direct equivalent of will, until they familiarise themselves with the fact that the notion of future is implicit in the verb itself, indicated in the verb ending. I find it useful to introduce the simple future and the conditional tense quite closely together. The patterns are similar, and although the verb endings are only slightly different, students are able to compare and contrast the conjugations, which really helps them understand the differences. I always give students an answer key - that gives them further opportunity to engage with the conjugations, and they enjoy checking their own or each other’s work. The answer key is also in book format, and has six pages. I tend to have folders with a range of quick conjugation workbooks ready for them to select during free-choice time. This kind of workbook is really versatile, and I use them in lots of different contexts - homework, holiday refresher and revision work, cover lessons and so on.

KS3 GCSE FRENCH PRESENT TENSE CONJUGATION PRACTICE FIVE WORKBOOKS @ £1 EACH 150 conjugations in each workbook, 750 conjugations in total, differentiated challenges, answer keys & verb reference lists ideal for KS3 French students who are beginning to work with compound sentences and longer texts, and generally developing their knowledge and understanding of conjugation and tense in French. The verbs groups are: regular French -ER verbs regular & irregular French -RE verbs regular & irregular French -IR & -OIR verbs regular & irregular high-frequency French verbs reflexive verbs I use these kinds of workbooks in lots of different ways: for practice during the introduction phase, for independent choice in class time, for homework, for practice, reinforcing and revision during holidays and at return to class, and for individual activities during cover lessons - I move onto conjugation quite quickly in my language learning programs, so that students can apply language practically and creatively, which is essential for progressing in language learning, as well as consolidating language and grammatical concepts. I tend to give my students regular opportunities to practice the conjugations during the whole schools year, and they find this really useful for mapping their own progress and developing their overall understanding of how French conjugation ‘works’. The workbooks focus on the correct conjugation of verbs, rather than usage, but I definitely find it useful to remind students of a number of things when focusing on or revising tense and verb conjugation. For example, with the French present tense, I encourage students to look for patterns across all the verbs, such as the singular pronouns, including the pronoun on form being identical, pointing out also that on is commonly used in spoken and written French, also meaning we, unlike the English pronoun one. Language learners do often try to conflate what they know about conjugation in their first language, and the language they are currently learning. For example, with students whose whose first language is English, I frequently see attempts such as je suis mettre for I am putting or similarly je fais répondre for I do answer. I also refer frequently the difference in usage between English and French, and this is important particularly when explaining when and in which contexts to use the simple present and the continuous / progressive present tense. Though the workbook focuses solely on the correct conjugation of verbs, and does not look at word order in the context of full sentences, there are conjugation patterns that students can learn, recognise and apply, ensuring that their spoken and written French is accurate, and that their understanding of French across the skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing is robust.

Conjugation Challenge 3: students write the corresponding French verb conjugation, and its infinitive, from an English prompt. Notes and Next Steps, which encourages students to think about how their understanding of French conjugation works, reflect on what progress they have made, what their targets for improvement might realistically be, and what they might reasonably do in order to meet those targets. They also use this page to note any new verbs they learn, which helps them build up a comprehensive verb vocabulary.

GERMAN IMPERFECT TENSE CONJUGATION PRACTICE 5 workbooks @ £1.00 each in the bundle each workbook focusing on a specific set of 25 German verbs in the imperfect tense, 3 differentiated conjugation challenges, 150 quick conjugations, complete answer key and verb lists, 750 conjugations in total ideal for advanced KS3 German and KS4 German students who are developing their knowledge and understanding of conjugation in German, and working with more complex texts which include a range of tenses. The verbs groups are: regular German verbs irregular & mixed German verbs high-frequency German verbs German reflexive verbs German separable verbs I do tend to introduce the perfect tense and imperfect tense fairly closely together, as usage of the tenses is not directly equivalent with English for example, particularly in spoken German, and working with both tenses simultaneously allows us to contrast and compare usage. The workbooks focus on the mechanics of conjugation, rather than usage, but I’ve found that when my students are able to provide the correct conjugation very quickly, and out of a specific context, they feel really confident that their German conjugation skills are developing well, which is a key step in creating and producing correct German, in both oral and written form. My students really like this kind of grammar activity, as they like to work and learn independently, which is a successful way of varying teaching and learning methodologies - I’ve found it’s really important to avoid predominantly teacher-led learning in the languages classroom.

Language learners do often try to conflate what they know about conjugation in their first language and the language they are learning, and with the German imperfect tense of separable verbs for example, I frequently see attempts such as ich war stehen auf / ich war aufstehen for I was getting / standing up or similarly ich machte / tat aufstehen for I did get / stand up. Students also tend to look for a direct translation of the notion of used to…, before they understand that the notion is implicit in the tense itself. There are certain complexities with German separable verbs, as learners whose first language does not have equivalent separable verbs can find positioning the separable prefix correctly quite challenging. I refer frequently the difference in usage between English and German, and this is important particularly when explaining when and in which contexts to use the present perfect, simple past and the continuous / progressive simple past tense.

GCSE FRENCH SPEAKING GCSE FRENCH WRITING ALEVEL FRENCH SPEAKING ALEVEL FRENCH WRITING 200 SPEAKING & WRITING PROMPTS @ £2.50 EACH IN THE BUNDLE Files are non-editable in a zipped format. The bundle is copyright, all rights reserved. It may not be copied, rewritten, shared or distributed in any way. The license for purchase is a single-user license only. Please read the Terms of Use. 200 French Speaking & Writing Prompts, suitable for Higher GCSE & beginner ALevel French students Speaking and writing are language skills that learners tend to find very challenging, and increased engagement with language that requires them to both reproduce language they are already familiar with, and to be creative with that language in order to produce new language is really beneficial. The questions are differentiated, addressing a broad range of ability, which aim to progress all learners. Tenses include present, future, near future, perfect and conditional. Question formats are likewise varied, to ensure maximum opportunity to work with the different ways to ask questions in French. Some questions seek to elicit very similar information, but are asked in different language: this avoids learners simply parroting learned responses to fixed prompts. The prompts are really versatile too, specifically with a focus on speaking and writing. Speaking: As a whole-group activity, distribute the cards among your students, one or several. Ideally, they should walk around the classroom, asking questions, and swapping cards. For pair or small-group work, students can work in a designated area. This really helps them focus closely on the language, and helps learners who are slightly less confident working with a larger group. The cards work particularly well as ice-breakers at the beginning of the school year, refreshers after vacation, prep for both new phase learning, for example intermediate to advanced intermediate, and even advanced intermediate to advanced, as well as exams. They’re great as both entrance and exit tickets, and also for five-minute refreshers, which I use quite frequently during the school year. Frequent and regular engagement with language is absolutely key to successful language learning. Writing: The cards work best in pair or small-group work, where learners have access to reference resources, such as bilingual dictionaries and the internet. The latter will enable them to prepare detailed responses to questions which address general knowledge, rather than their own life. They can then transfer this knowledge to their spoken work. There’s also a 2-pate prompts master list. The prompts broadly address the following themes: college life & study; future plans; information technology; where I live; social & environmental issues; France & travel; social activity & daily life Try this free sampler: GCSE FRENCH ALEVEL SPEAKING & WRITING PROMPTS : 10 PROMPT CARDS https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/-12537447 ***Have a browse in my store for more French independent learning activities, and a wide range of other French teaching and learning materials, with French resource boxes, special offer bundles, and lots of freebies - I’ve included a couple here for you to try.***.

KS3 FRENCH KS4 FRENCH GCSE FRENCH PERFECT TENSE CONJUGATION PRACTICE 5 WORKBOOKS @ £1 each in the pack My students really like this kind of grammar activity, as they like to work and learn independently, which is a successful way of varying teaching and learning methodologies - I’ve found it’s really important to avoid predominantly teacher-led learning in the languages classroom. The verbs groups are: regular French -ER verbs regular & irregular French -RE verbs regular & irregular French -IR & -OIR verbs regular & irregular high-frequency French verbs reflexive verbs Each set has 150 conjugations across 3 differentiated conjugation challenges with full answer key and verbs lists, so 750 conjugations in total. I use these kinds of workbooks in lots of different ways: for practice during the introduction phase, for independent choice in class time, for homework, for practice and revision during holidays and at return to class, and for cover lessons - they’re really versatile, and ideal for advanced KS3 French and KS4 French students who are really getting to grips with conjugation in French, developing their French grammar knowledge, and beginning to work with more complex language and texts. The workbook focuses on the mechanics of conjugation, rather than usage, and I’ve found that when my students are able to provide the correct conjugation very quickly, and out of a specific context, they feel really confident that their conjugation skills are developing well. I encourage students to look for patterns across all the verbs, such as the singular pronouns, including the pronoun on form being identical, pointing out also that on is commonly used in spoken and written French, also meaning we, unlike the English pronoun one. The workbooks focus on the mechanics of conjugation, rather than usage, but I find it useful to remind students of a number of things when focusing on or revising tense and verb conjugation. For example, students whose first language is English do often try to conflate what they know about conjugation in both languages, and I frequently see students confusing the use of the auxiliaries avoir and être. Students do need to to have a good grasp of the auxiliary verbs in the present tense to ensure that they can form the perfect tense accurately. In terms of the past participle, students begin to be able to predict it accurately, the more they see it, and construct it. I also refer frequently the difference in usage between English and French in the perfect tense, which are quite significant. Though the workbook focuses solely on the correct conjugation of verbs, and does not look at word order in the context of full sentences, there are fixed conjugation patterns that students can***learn, recognise and apply***, ensuring that their spoken and written French is accurate, and that their understanding of French across the skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing is robust. Students become very familiar and confident the more they work with conjugation, and these quick conjugations certainly help to embed that successfully. Each set is structured as follows: Two alphabetical verb reference lists: French-English and English-French. Three conjugation challenges, each with 50 individual conjugations: Conjugation Challenge 1: each verb conjugated in French across a range of pronouns, with students writing the corresponding English verb conjugation. Conjugation Challenge 2: gives the infinitive of each verb in French, specifying the target pronoun. Students write the corresponding verb conjugation in French. Conjugation Challenge 3: students write the corresponding French verb conjugation, and its infinitive, from an English prompt. Notes and Next Steps template which students visit regularly - it really does encourage them to think about where they are now, how confident they feel, and what they might need to work on a little more to be absolutely sure of their conjugation skills. We also note down any new verbs we meet, which enables students to build up their own verb vocabulary bank. It’s a great tool to guide and inform whole-group discussion about learning and progress in general, which is a really successful and popular activity. answer key: 6-page booklet which is absolutely essential in my view. Answer keys help students develop more independence in their learning, and provide them with an additional opportunity to engage with language and grammar. They also genuinely enjoy correcting their own - and particularly each others’ - work.

The bundle is copyright, all rights reserved. It may not be copied, rewritten, shared or distributed outside your own classroom, in whole or in part, in any way. The license for purchase is a single-use license only. Please read the Terms of Use carefully. These German telling the time challenge cards are perfect for developing German language skills in general, as well as for practising and revising how to tell the time in German. Each set has 60 cards, divided into two sets of 30 questions, and includes a full answer key and a recording sheet. The cards have a bonus multi-skill focus on listening, speaking, pronunciation, reading and spelling, and really help students develop more independence in their learning, moving away from more teacher-led tasks and activities. Challenge cards are really versatile too - we use them not only when we’re focusing on the target vocabulary and structures, but throughout the year as starters and refreshers. The goal is not simply to learn and practice how to tell the time in German, but also to enjoy working independently with language, and to feel confident about doing so. Students tend to find half past the hour and quarter to / past the hour in German quite challenging, and the focused practice is really useful. The questions across the three sets are a straightforward introduction to, and practice of, a range of German analogue clock times for students, and also to working and learning with task cards. I generally work with telling the time in German quite quickly with my beginner German students, as it lends itself really well to promoting speaking in the classroom, discussing daily routines for example. There are two questions: Wie spät ist es / Wie viel Uhr ist es? with a particular clock face, and students write the response on their recording sheet or in their workbooks. The second question is Richtig oder falsch? and students write either richtig or falsch - where the answer is falsch, remind students to write the correct time for additional consolidation. The question card template enables students to apply their knowledge of language and time creatively and practically, which is integral to successful language learning. It’s also a really popular activity too - my students really enjoy creating questions for each other. I prepare each set on different color paper, so that when students are using multiple sets, we can sort them into the relevant set really easily. The cards are numbered 1-60 in words, so students should recap those numbers before they work with the task cards. There are two German numbers 0-100 number reference lists in my store which you can download for free - my students find them really useful. Each set comprises the following non-editable files: 60 cards, 6 per A4 (8.5 x 11) paper. Laminating is definitely worth the extra prep time and expense, as the cards are far more learner-friendly, and stay in excellent condition for a long time, so you’ll be able to recycle them for years. 2-page answer recording sheet. Best printed double-sided to save paper. My students generally use their class workbooks to note their answers, though I do use recording sheets for more formal assessment purposes. 2-page answer key, again best printed double-sided, and laminated if possible. For me, answer keys are an integral element to this kind of learning activity. They offer students an additional opportunity to engage with language, and to develop more independence in their learning. They’re also a great teacher time-saver, which is always a good thing! I distribute one answer key per small group when we’re working with the task cards in class time. Have a browse in my store for more German resources, including special offer bundles and freebies.
