Focus on listening skills at GCSE, based around BBC Berlin clip. Higher ability gapfill listening and dictionary work, then listening to an embedded file, people saying what they did and their opinions.\nAll feedback welcome.

Practises common letter sound / blends for German - can easily be changed for French. It can be HUGELY reduced and done using duplo colour-coded blocks for children. Really good fun and lots of student participation in this. Please rate as I'm becoming obsessed with MFL phonics and would like to develop this whole area...

Quick fire questions that can be adapted - this is suitable as is, for Year 7s who have done some work on the topic of school. \nVery engaging and stimulating, excellent for promoting speaking and thinking skills.\nSet up to play, right click on mouse to freeze and offer a student the question / they can work in pairs and think about how to give the best answer

very scaffolded materials to help students cope with conjugating verbs whilst describing themselves, and then other people. Lots of thinking and speaking work to maximise interactivity

Simple writing activity - text taken from TES (thanks to the author...forgotten from whom I lifted this!) and A*/A/B level prompts added to improve the quality of the writing significantly.
