Dictation Practice Theme 1- GCSE French

In this digital product:
You will find resources to practise the dictation question of the 2026 GCSE Examination (AQA). The topics covered are the 3 topics from Theme 1: People and Lifestyle.

Topic 1: Identity and Relationships with others
Topic 2: Healthy living and Lifestyle
Topic 3: Education and Work

There are 3 practices for each Topic:

Practice 1: fill in the gaps in the 8 sentences (intermediate practice to help students build their dictation skills).
Practice 2: Write 4 sentences
Practice 3: Write 5 sentences

You can use this resource in the classroom:

• Student’s booklet
• Teacher’s mark scheme
• PPT presentation (including an easier mark scheme for self/ peer assessment in the classroom)
• Audio files

Or you can print the practice booklet and give it to your students for independent practice/ revision:

• Student’s booklet, including QR codes for access to audio files and answer booklet.

Note that Practice 2 and Practice 3 follow the AQA Listening Paper closely: number of sentences, total number of words + number of words from outside the prescribed list, sentence sections, repetition and build-in pauses.

The first 5 files are a preview of what is included in the .zip folder: Dictation-Theme1.zip. After downloading, save the .zip file in your computer (in “documents” for example), then right-click and select “extract all” to access all the resources.
