Powerpoint in which students must supply the correct preposition to complete the description of the picture.

A dialogue featuring some of the central characters from the film "Was tun, wenn's brennt?" The dialogue is not an actual scene from the film but is a fantasy love triangle featuring three of the characters. The text focuses on physical description, with a little bit of jealousy thrown in. It is followed by activities in which students must (i) identify key language, (ii) adapt the dialogue, focusing on the words in bold type, and (iii) enhance the dialogue by adding in adverbial phrases from a given list. Students will need to have seen the end of the film to get the joke at the end of the dialogue.

Two Powerpoints featuring street signs and questions in English, which I have use to practise dictionary skills. The images in the first ppt have been used in resources I have uploaded before, but the images in the second ppt are all new.

Ppt featuring severely cropped authentic images of places in Berlin (station, supermarket etc). Pupils have to try to guess what the place is and say'Hier gibt es ...'. The cropped image is followed by the full image to confirm the answer or make it a bit easier, and this is then supported with the correct sentence in German. Colour coding has been used to emphasize gender. The final four slides build up a table modelling the use of the Nominative after Das ist vs the Accusative after Es gibt. This could be elicited from students before clicking in each answer.

This an upgraded version of a worksheet I originally uploaded for Year 11 pupils. The text contains unpleasant but true information about the self-styled 'Worst hotel in the world' plus comments about dreadful hotels from contributors to TripAdvisor. This is followed by a grammar tip about adjectives, comparatives and superlatives, questions in German, a manipulation exercise, a translation into English, a writing task, more grammar, a speaking task and finally another writing task.

Powerpoint which builds up, slide by slide to create a table illustrating adjectival endings in the Accusative after 'Es gibt ... '. The examples are all in the context of desribing a room. The table is followed by images of celebrities, and students then have to speculate as to what there is in their room.

Question and answer activity. There activity contains a numbered sequence of questions to be asked, and a bullet pointed list of answers to choose from. Students could be expected to answer (i) using only answers on the sheet (ii) an answer on the sheet plus an additional statement of their own devising (iii) an answer on the sheet plus two additional statements of their own devising.

Powerpoint for practising phonics. The first slide acts as a homepage for the activity. Students pick a number and re then hyperlinked to a word (or a phrase if you use the other PPT) to pronounce. Change the content to suit your focus.

A gap-fill exerise about fitness featuring a Futurama character with one eye and purple hair.

A KS4 level text in which a footballer describes a typical day in Brazil. The text is followed by a GCSE-style True, False, Not in Text exercise.

A series of sentence pattern generators to help students stay in the TL when working independently.

Two activities to help beginners structure an account of a day: (i) a gap-fill on Dracula's day(ii) a scaffolded writing task for students to describe their own day.

Three speaking activities based on an image of a vaguely futuristic Berlin: (i) A Where's Wally? style observational activity (ii) a memory and writing activity and (iii) questions for discussion.

Powerpoint containing a set of activities which become progressively more challenging (i) a multiple-choice quiz (ii) more demanding reading activities regarding the history of the World Cup (iii) reading activities relating to Brazil (iv) images to provoke discussion. Use the bits that suit your class!

Relatively simple activity, in which students must match the names of key characters in the film 'Dr Tunnel' to short descriptipns of the characters.

Powerpoint containing multiple choice trivia questions followed by images desiged to provoke discussion. (The quiz questions are different to the ones in the German ppt)

Each of the attached files covers the same content but one is slightly more challenging than the other.The texts are followed by comprehension questions, a find-the-phrase activity, a manipulate-the-phrase activity, pair work and a written task. The more challenging version also features a gap-fill activity and has less scaffolding of the writing.

Dialogue in which David and Victoria Beckham are interviewed about their attitudes to shopping. Students read the dialogue and then decide which responses best fit which character. They can then practice the dialogue in pairs (ie with just one of the Beckhams) or in threes. Includes Past, Present and Future.

List of discussion questions relating to predictions about the World Cup 2014 plus a Future Tense toolkit to support the generation of answers.

This ppt is for an activity I conducted with our soon-to-be year 7s on their transistion visit. It's a facilitated activity that encourages the pupils to (i) share their perceptions of the benefits of learning a language (ii) think about how learning a language will devlop their generic thinking and learning abilities (iii) reflect on how an MFL lesson, which they have just had, has fostered generic thinking and learning skills. It could be used with Year 7s at the start of their MFL career.
