Lesson for advance pupils on how to use a bilingual dictionary (my class uses Robert and Collins). Especially relevant with the new IB curriculum when pupils are expected to produce a piece of coursework in class, for which they are allowed to use a dictionary.

This presentation focuses on the past tense of reflexive verbs. Pupils will learn to describe their injuries and explain what happened to them. Writing and Speaking activities included.

I prepared this PowerPoint for my bottom set Yr10 to revise the school uniform and to practice modal verbs. Includes presentation of new vocab, game of 'was fellt?' and SPLAT, as well as practice with more complex structures. The sheet is for the pupils to stick in their books and use as a reference for correct adjective endings.

Worksheet to go with the film C.R.A.Z.Y. This great French Canadian film is the story of a teenager who struggles with his homosexuality and his sometimes difficult relationships with his family. This work is part of a topic on 'identities in society' for the IB (French B)

This presentation goes with Expo 4 Rouge, module 3, unit 4. Introduces the structure 'Il faut' + infinitive, as well as the imperative mode to give people advice on healthy living.

I made this worksheet to work on the film 'Les Poupees Russes&' by Cedric Klapisch with my year 12. There are comprehension and grammar tasks, as well as written and oral work (making predictions, describing events, etc.). Hope you enjoy it. Don&';t forget to leave a comment and any suggestions are welcome!

PowerPoint presentation to teach pupils to talk about countries they visited, countries the will visit and countries they would like to visit (goes with Expo 2 rouge, p.79)

PowerPoint to introduce (more coplex) adjectives describing personality, leading on to a piece of extended writing. Aimed at KS4, but could be adapted to KS3 classes. The worksheet goes with the PowerPoint and can serve as a vocab reference sheet.

I used this Ppt to introduce the future tense to my Year7. I borrowed a couple of slides for somebody else and adapted the rest, so apologies if you recognise your work and thank you! Battleship game at the end and translation exercise.

Introduction of main school subjects followed by exercise on how to express basic opinons and justifications (levels 1-4)

This presentation goes with Expo 3, Module 1, unit 1. It introduces direct object pronouns (le, la, les)

This is a relatively recent song by Yannick Noah. I used it as a gap-filling listening activity. I'm sure it can be better exploited, so I welcome any ideas/improvements!

An IB/A-level resource on trash reality TV in France, seen by the band Tryo. I have used this song to talk about slang and verlan and as an opportunity to revise the pronoun 'en'. There is a translation exercise for students to practise the vocabulary from the song, as well as a gap-fill exercise to practise listening comprehension. Finally, I have put together a few questions to form the basis of a discussion.

This is a pair-work speaking activity to practise prepositions. One pupil has to describe his picture to his partner who draws the objects described in the right place. They then swap and check on each other's sheet at the end.

I created this listening activity to assess students. The website will not let me upload the audio file, so feel free to PM me your email address and I will send it to you. The questions are in English but could easily be given in French.

This resource is based on Paper 1 for French B SL/HL. The questions are modelled on the exam, so it can be used either as a practice in class or for a mock exam. I have included the markscheme at the end. This article from L'Express is a comparison between the food habits in the US and in France.

I created this resources as an exam revision tool for my Year 10, before they sat their IGCSE. It covers regular, irregular and reflexive verbs in the following tenses and modes: - infinitive - Pluperfect - Imperfect - Perfect - Recent past - Present - Future with 'aller' - Simple future - Conditional It can be given as a task to complete in class (in which case you will have to wipe it clean). I also had it printed out with answers on A3 and laminated so my students could keep it on their desks and refer back to it. Students found it extremely clear and very useful for their revision.

Crossword puzzle to introduce/revise environmental issues (deforestation, greenhouse gases, acid rains, etc.). Students are given a definition of the issue and have to find the corresponding word. I used it with my Year 13 (Standard Level) at the beginning of my unit on the effect of man on the environment. While the words are reasonably straightforward, the definitions are a little harder. It could also be used with an advanced IGCSE group, or an IB ab initio group.

This activity is based on an authentic French TV guide and contains 4 tasks aimed at developing students' vocabulary (types of TV programmes), practising the telling the time in French and checking understanding. The last task tests the students' thinking skills and logic in French. I have included corrections for each of the activities. I created this activity for my Year 12 ab initio when we covered the unit on leisure and pastimes, but it could easily be used with a GCSE group, or even KS3 with more able students.

The video is over an hour long, but I only used the introduction. In this worksheet, there is a listening comprehension, a gap-fill activity, as well as a couple exercises on pronouns and vocabulary, which mirror the questions asked in the French B Paper 1 exam. It is meant to practise/assess both listening and reading comprehension. The video is authentic and the link is included at the beginning of the worksheet.
