This is a bundle of ten AS/A-level French units of work which support the sub-themes of the three English examination boards. All AQA units (year 1) are covered.
Each unit consists of 7 to 9 pages of densely packed activities centred around a text and with an ultimate focus on translation into French. Tasks include matching, definitions, gap-fill, grammar drills, translation both ways, questions, comprehension, speaking and writing and vocabulary list completion.
Each unit builds up in difficulty and features pre-reading and pre-translation tasks leading to three translation passages into French, graded in difficulty.
You would use these during the first year of a two year course, or for revision in the second year.
The 10 topics are: family, cyber-society, education, work, volunteering, music, cinema, literature, personal identity and cultural heritage.
Every unit comes with answers, so you could hand these out for independent work or use them in class with little preparation.
You might like to put the units together as a booklet (about 110 pages) to be kept in class or given out to students.
Separately, each unit costs £3. We are selling the bundle of 10 units for £20. Once photocopied they will last you several years.
The units were co-written by Gianfranco Conti and Steve Smith and apply some of the principles laid out in their book The Language Teacher Toolkit.
A 45 page editable booklet containing listening, reading, speaking and writing resources. Answers are given where relevant. Specifically, there are 5 listening worksheets linked to free online audio and video, reading passages with exercises, a reading exam, conversation questions, a “how to do a good essay” guide and translation sentences. These are collated from frenchteacher.net where you can find many more similar resources.
This is for A2 students with reasonable fluency. An adaptation of the old TV panel game wherein students give definitions of obscure words, only one of which is correct. Should provoke lots of good listening and talking, plus vocab building. This is a free sample from frenchteacher.net
This is all eight of our GCSE (Higher Tier) units which can be purchased separately for £3. Each unit contains 6-8 pages of exercises (matching, translation both ways, gap-fill, comprehension) leading up to five graded translations into French.
The concept of "narrow reading" is key here. Each unit contains a number of short reading texts, each one designed to recycle similar language items based on a unifying theme.
The final translations may look hard to some, but students will manage them after the tightly structured preceding tasks.
These units could be set for homework or done in class. All answers are provided for self-marking. We think you'll find them a very useful supplement to your other resources. At £15 they are an extremely good value, photocopiable resource.
