<p>This booklet is aimed at Key Stage four students who are undertaking<br /> French GCSE and will assist them with their controlled assessment in both<br /> writing and speaking. It offers the key language that the students need to<br /> improve the quality of their writing while encouraging their creativity and<br /> their independence. The students can benefit from the details and various<br /> examples and step by step explanations on how to achieve A*. The use of<br /> this booklet has proven to improve students’ levels not only in writing and<br /> speaking, but also in listening and reading.<br /> We have analysed the writing and the speaking criteria of various exam<br /> boards and we came up with a simple and clear summary of these criteria<br /> written in a student friendly language. These criteria have been divided into<br /> four sections; each section corresponding to a GCSE level.<br /> Also the booklet includes the conjugation of the 50 most used French verbs,<br /> including the modal verbs, into different tenses (present, perfect, imperfect,<br /> near future, simple future and conditional). This is followed by different<br /> language structures which the students can use to develop their writing.<br /> These structures comprise negatives, opinions, time, place, cause,<br /> consequence, aim, condition, possession and opposition. At the end of the<br /> booklet, students can find a very useful list of recommended idioms and<br /> high level expressions.<br /> This booklet can be acquired by schools to assist in improving their GCSE<br /> results in French. Teachers can use this booklet to raise the numbers of<br /> students achieving A*.<br /> Grammar has become a central point of the new curriculum of Modern<br /> Languages and teachers can plan grammar lessons around this booklet<br /> which contains a comprehensive study of French grammar. Also, this<br /> booklet can be introduced for Key Stage 3 students as a form of<br /> differentiation. Equally, it can be used with post 16 students as a form of<br /> challenging and encouraging independence.</p>
