A **free sample ** of this booklet is available.
A 41-page booklet with a full set of GCSE role-play & teacher cards (10 Foundation & 10 Higher) for the EDEXCEL specification. The resource is ideal for exam practice/mock speaking exams, especially as it was designed in the very format that the specification provides.
Every teacher card offers sample answers for each bullet point.
Merci ; any questions, just ask.
designed by a native speaker
The resource consists of a sentence builder to introduce yourself (name, where you live, your nationality, the languages you speak) and 5 following-up tasks to practise (see sample); the answers are included. The activities are built-up to ensure the students will secure the knowledge, but also pay attention to their spelling in order to be more accurate. This would generally take an hour to go through (more or less depending on abilities).
The activities are:
Translation into English
Rebuild the sentences (French)
Translation into French
Reading activity
Writing activity (paragraph including your name, where you live, your nationality & the languages you speak)
Although not on the sheet, I will always ask my students to do a speaking with activity 5.
It’s a very versatile resource which can be used for a stand-alone lesson or as part of a scheme of work by specialists and non specialists alike (if used by an MFL teacher, you can spend some time explaining some grammar points/language).
