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.

I tried to select a nice topic and theme to teach and revise various skills and grammatical aspects . It links to Expo3 ( la Normandie ) rouge with the discovery of an area but I jaust added more on this so students get to compare areas and see how varied France is. I will add more through a different power point and add worksheets , this is taking ages .... hope it helps. I used the interactive quiz with the gap fill as a little starter and introduction about the Alps before showing the Power Point.

I will try this with my year 11. Think they will like it. Visit the French website 1 jour 1 actu. play the clip ( in Informations animees ), it is the clip from Monday 30/11. the use the activities attached as you wish. The stater sheet will help students familiarise themselves with the script but you may wish to use it as a plenary rather than as a starter, this will depend on your groups ( A Level should cope with it as a starter ). Then complete all activities or even use the script with the first listening, then remove it gradually. offer the vocabulary search once students are more confident , it can be done with or without the script. I have put first letters of each words needed in French for guidance.

This is such a beautiful and powerful song by Françoise Hardy, covering so many areas of study. From grammar to expressions of feelings of joy and nostalgia, there is so much to exploit and I will add more resources, but my 6th form love it. A beautiful melody at a steady pace. I hope it is useful and that this song is enjoyed by colleagues around the globe.

using building blocks in order to develop speaking and writing, I have used and adapted the middle slides ( to be completed on mini whiteboards ) from a resource found on here and added learning outocmes and models for each level. Levels are referring to styles and levels of support used by students, rather than just using the tenses, I do explain that for level 5, a tense would be preferrable , like for a C at GCSE a tense or an attempt at it is preferred.

Just a bit of a revamp from ' spécial vacances' to support less able students, with opportunities to work on literacy through vowel gaps, pronunication and words snake, to learn the conditional and help in achieving levels 5. Use and adapt as you wish.

the wheel ! My students love it ! try it to try and see who remembers what, the numbers could be allocated to students who are picked to answer questions about the lesson or could be hiding a question about the lesson. Can be class or peer activity ! Bonne chance

Hopefully this will help in motivating students who can find it hard to understand the concept of story teeling/ naarative, it did help my y9. I used the card sorts to support ( the sngle words being the starter then used the phrases for sequencing to see if they could reconstruct the story. Could also read and ask students to show you the correct phrase .

I created this Power Point for an hour with the year 6 Primary pupils coming for their induction day. My aim was to work on skills and the resource was shared with all staff involved in MFL. The feedback given by staff and pupils was positive so I am hoping it will help others now.
