Cambridge IGCSE French: Listening activity workbook 2015 edition
KRIS240680KRIS240680

Cambridge IGCSE French: Listening activity workbook 2015 edition

(0)
I have developed this resource from having designed my own worksheets from the Cambridge IGCSE textbook (2015 edition) into a workbook. The listening activites follow the whole book from units 1-15 and most of them are differentiated between lower level and higher level activities, however as the book progresses, the less the lower level activites become available as I strongly encourage my students to undertake the same level of work upon entering the second year of the IGCSE programme, as the examinations are going to be at the same level. Before you purchase this resource, please note that these resources are designed from and follow the Cambridge IGCSE 2015 edition and the NOT the newest 2017 edition. When buying this resource, please make sure you already have access to the Cambridge IGCSE French listening files 2015 edition, as this resource does not include the listening files and it is against copyright for me to upload them. Happy teaching and learning!
