"For 2021, speaking skills will be assessed throughout the year in normal classroom activities by teachers, including remote teaching if necessary, and students will be given an endorsement of ‘Pass’ ‘Merit’ and ‘Distinction’ on their certificates. " In line with the above changes, I created a document for GCSE French students which captures their performance during the year. Common criteria are included on one slide. I share this document with my students (who can only view). It centralises all the speaking tasks in one place and I can see quickly what general criteria apply to them and what level they are likely to achieve for their certificate. I hope the document helps.

A good activity to revise the different themes for GCSE French. I used the excellent free template shared by “arkleigh” on TES to revise German vocabulary and grammar. The questions are based on Studio - Edexcel Higher French and the first 4 themes. 1 Identity and culture 2 Local area, holidays and travel 3 School 4 Future aspirations, study and work The questions are hopefully without mistakes but let me know if you spot any.
