<p>A sentence builder I used with Year 10 to help them get to grips with the “Customs and Festivals” topic (AQA GCSE Unit 4). Initially the sentences can be used for receptive practice and later in the process for productive work. There is also a “find the French” task to help them familiarise themselves with the new language, and a translation into English which could then be used as a model paragraph for speaking/writing.</p>

Powerpoint summarising the main aspects of the new (2016) AQA Individual Research Project. Created for Year 12 French but could easily be adapted for other languages. Useful as an introduction to set the context for students to make their choice of topic area and begin their research.

<p>A powerpoint which I used with Year 11 to help them understand what to expect in the role-play element of the speaking exam. There are some slides to help them make sense of what’s being asked of them on the card, some useful sentence starters, the mark scheme (higher) and a worked example at the end on the theme of free time.</p>

<p>A powerpoint file with a sentence builder to give students support with creating sentences about their use of technology, its dangers etc. The sentences can be used as a starting-point to present vocabulary in context, for receptive practice (there is a “bad translation” activity included) and then for productive work.</p>

<p>A worksheet incorporating French to English translation, verb conjugation practice and English to French translation to practise the French present, future, conditional, imperfect and perfect tenses. I devised this as a revision task for Year 12 but it could also work with an able KS4 group.</p>

<p>A powerpoint to help familiarise GCSE German students with the AQA role-play task.

(This is adapted from my French version which I’ve also uploaded.)</p>

<p>A sentence builder for the “Customs and festivals” topic to support students in extended speaking/writing. There are also several reading and listening tasks to help students process the language.</p>

<p>A sample photo card based on the AQA (2016) German GCSE specimen papers, with prompts to guide students in creating answers. The topic is free time activities. I have also included material from the information and instructions and the marking criteria. There are both Power Point and Word versions so it could be used in a variety of ways (in class, as homework, for assessment etc.)</p>
