Today I would like to share a little tip with you that could potentially save you hours, money and headaches. If you need your students to type in either French or Spanish, you will soon realise that learning the ALT codes is really cumbersome, slowing them down, and not ideal for the classroom. There is an alternative on PC, which is to change the keyboard language to either French or Spanish, and place a few stickers on some keys to have a fully-working(*) foreign keyboard at no cost.

Here are some checklists with examples that I give to my students in order to motivate them to attempt higher level of writing (also works for speaking). Tenses, structures are in categories and include examples. I also added some GCSE levels as an indication of complexity. Best of all, it’s a free gift to you all for supporting my work.
