Good for revision for speaking exams. Pupils can do this in pairs. In advance, choose the topics or sub-topics. Their partner decides if their answer is good enough. If so, they colour in the segment in the relevant colour. If not, they discuss why and may try again. This is just one of many possible activities.

French - Holidays translation worksheet

French - Holidays translation worksheet

(0)
Pupils use an example text to translate (and sometimes adapt) the given English text into the target language. In this case, pupils have to translate the underlined words/phrases as one (e.g. ‘during the holidays’ is a phrase either found in the text exactly or very similar). After being marked by the teacher, pupils then set a target before re-writing it. Whilst marking, simply write your literacy code in the boxes (for higher ability) or put the code on the pupils’ answers as well (for extra help). There are additional boxes for WWW, EBI and a post-marking re-write.

Great for building both confidence and the use of spoken/written phrases. In 2 teams, each one takes it in turns to choose a rectangle. Team 1 chooses a noun from the first row and has to give a phrase using that noun (e.g. J’ai un chien.) It’s best to note down what they say. Then team 2 chooses an adjective from the second row and has to repeat what Team 1 said and add more to the phrase using an adjective (e.g. J’ai un chien blanc.) Then Team 1 chooses a connective from row 3, etc. Jot down one point for each correct phrase. This continues until one of the teams either gives an incorrect phrase or can’t think of one. The opposite team get the total points. Start again if you like, using the nouns, etc that haven’t been used.
