Studying a language opens windows into other cultures and different ways of viewing the world. It also enhances intercultural understanding. Through many years of teaching MFL (French and Spanish), I have carefully designed and structured each sequence of lessons, to have maximum impact on our students in the classroom. Each lesson builds on the last, moving from receptive to productive language. All resources are complete lessons, fully animated, with answers.

This resource consists of three complete lessons, fully animated, with answers, perfect for teaching Foundation or Higher GCSE groups.
By the end of the three lessons students will be able to read key information about technology from a text and answer the question:
¿Qué aplicaciones vas a usar este fin de semana?
What apps are you going to use this week?
All of the vocabulary, and activities, are based on the AQA GCSE Viva textbook, which is tailored to the vocabulary lists for the AQA GCSE exam.
The content is designed to flood students with new language from a sentence builder (included in this pack), starting with receptive exposure to the phrases, and finishing with productive writing and speaking skills.
All of the tasks have been tried and tested over the last few years following the Conti method - a communicative language teaching approach developed by Gianfranco Conti: ‘extensive processing instruction’ (EPI) is based on the idea that language teachers should ‘teach less, not more’ by providing their students with a set of language ‘chunks’, drilling these, and finally pushing students to reproduce them. Given its emphasis on reducing cognitive overload, this method is likely to succeed in allowing students to feel like competent learners.
