I am currently a Head of Modern Languages in a large secondary school in the North East Of England. I also work with the local University with PGCE MFL students, an area of my work I thoroughly enjoy. I am passionate about teaching and learning, and have a particular interest in the teaching of grammar and of literary texts to develop reading, writing and listening skills. I am currently working on developing a range of resources to support the study of Le Petit Nicolas and the series of books.

L'imparfait-The Imperfect tense in French. Formation and activities to practise

This is designed for an introduction to this tense with my year 8. We have used it before but we now need to understand how it works so students become independent in building and using this tense themselves. Any comments are welcome. The vowel gap fill activity can be used for pair work, for speaking and or writing. Students have to fill in the gaps ( stars ) with vowels only and then they could use the grid as support in speaking tasks. I hope this is useful to colleagues, I am sharing as it has been tried and tested many times .

The last two slides can support in generating a debate on the advantages and disadvantages of Smartphones. U

with an accompanying handout to support and a reading activity, the power point contains a sentence builder and a listening ' memory map' for students to complete after they have listened to the script to see what they remember and if they can identify the activities.

You will find the script on the French site called 1 jour 1 actu. It contains short clip with key words in authentic French. It goes quite fast, hence all the resources attached to support students through the study of authentic resources and texts, particularly for the new GCSE MFL and A Level ( 2016 ). All feedback welcome and appreciated as usual. I will add more resources as I go along on this topic, which should engage most learners.

You can use this as a template and type any vocabulary you want. Get students to fold and hide, then unfold and check, good for starters especially when preparing for speaking or writing controlled assessements.

I have three boxes (one green, one pink as could not find orange, one red) In these I place different styles of help and support to help writing in lessons or even when setting homework. I would place the translation in the green box, the french clues in the pink box and the english clues in the red box.
