French: Blockbusters - IGCSE Grammar

French: Blockbusters - IGCSE Grammar

(0)
This game is an excellent way of revising grammar and it is specifically tailored at IGCSE level, however it can also be used to revise grammar at A-Level also. For those of you who are unfamiliar with this game, basically the class is divided into two teams. If a team gets a question right (on whatever topic) they place their coloured hexagon over the topic and they can pick another question. If they get a question wrong, the other team will have a chance to answer. The first team to get their coloured hexagons in a line either horizontally or diagonally, wins the game! This pack contains the game board and questions from each topic! Keep an eye out for my resources as I will be soon publishing more differentiated questions for students of a stronger ability!

Stage 5-7: Presentation of more irregular '-ir' verbs and intransitive verbs in the future tense
KRIS240680KRIS240680

Stage 5-7: Presentation of more irregular '-ir' verbs and intransitive verbs in the future tense

(0)
Welcome to Stage 5-7! 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 39th 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 additional irregular '-ir' verbs and intransitive verbs in the future tense: Partir Sortir Venir Tenir 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 5: The future tense', which enables students to manually complete the drills based on what they have learnt. They are £5. Upon completion of Stage 5-8, there are tests also available. Happy teaching and learning and the very best of luck!!
