This pack contains the following eight board games: - Dates - Intransitive verbs (etre verbs) - Transitive and intransitive verbs (mixture of avoir and etre verbs) - Verbs that are followed by the preposition 'a' (Excellent for AS French) - Verbs that are followed by the preposition 'de' (Excellent for AS French) - Telling the time - Expressions with avoir (Excellent for IGCSE French) - Countries and languages - Different coloured cut out ships are also available with every individual board game with instructions.

Welcome to the first installment of the advanced series for adults who are studying French, published by Palmer Language Services. At this level, students are beginning to adopt a more independent approach in their studies and tend to evade from the use of their mother-tongue language influence, thus the use of extracting material from texts. This resource extensively explores the unique life and story of Jeanne Louise Calment who lived to an incredible age of 122 years and 164 days and she was only verified human being to have lived to such an age. She also outlived both her daughter and grandson by several decades. The introduction of the subjunctive, using the verbs ‘avoir’ and ‘être’ are also incorporated in this activity, in addition to using them as auxiliary verbs when the perfect subjunctive is formed. Initially, before reading the text, students should be asked in French if they have any knowledge about Jeanne Calment and if so, what do they know about her. Students should then read the text out loud and then complete the subsequent activities which follow. This resource also incorporates all four key skills such as listening, reading, writing and speaking, in addition to an array of grammar activities. The good news is that you don’t have any particular need to make any preparatory planning, prior to teaching this topic as all the material contained is self-explanatory, which will enable the students to think for themselves. The contents of this resource are as follows: The worksheet activities Sound file for the listening activity The transcript for the listening activity Happy teaching and learning!

Welcome to Stage 6-1! This is the initial stage of the mastering of the conditional tense and well done on completing Stages 5-9/5-9a!! The purpose of this powerpoint is to become deeply acquainted with the formation of tenses and verbs, especially for those who have difficulties in doing so. This is a very good way of introducing the conjugation either when teaching it for the very first time or revision. This is the 41st stage of the learning process and there are 72 stages in the entire process. By the end of the 72nd stage, learners will have a developed a very profound mastery of not only forming nine different tenses which range with complexity upon progression, but also, an exhaustive range of different verbs which have been very carefully divided stage by stage. Upon completion of Stage 9-8, the final stage of the process, will immensely prepare students to pursue with their French studies at university level, where they will inevitably be using tenses. It is also suitable for adult learners, again whether they are learning it for the first time or revision. This folder contains irregular primary verbs in the conditional tense: Aller Etre Faire Avoir Prendre Ouvrir Boire Croire When showing each slide, there is an audio clip on each new item that you can click on and you will hear my voice which demonstrates the pronunciation of each item, or alternatively, you can lead the pronunciation of each item. It is up to you! The learners will then reiterate the new items every time they see the slide 'This time you try it!' You will be very surprised to see how it will stick in their minds!! I would strongly encourage you to purchase the follow-up activity 'French: Stage 6: The conditional tense', which enables students to manually complete the drills based on what they have learnt. They are £5. Upon completion of Stage 6-8, there are tests also available. Happy teaching and learning and the very best of luck!!
