EFL ESL ENGLISH FOR CHILDREN BEGINNER ENGLISH FRUITS & VEGETABLES I HAVE, WHO HAS? GAME This resource consists of non-editable files in a zipped format. It is copyright, all rights reserved. It may not be copied, rewritten, shared or distributed outside your own classroom in any way. The license for purchase is a single-user license only. Please read the Terms of Use carefully. A lively & communicative whole-group language learning game, perfect for practising, reinforcing & refreshing a range of fruits and vegetables in English, ideal for advanced beginner English and intermediate English students. The game has a multi-skill focus: listening, speaking & reading, with an important bonus focus on social interaction and participation. It’s perfect for pronunciation practice too. I point out particular phonemes and sounds, such as the soft c in lettuce compared to the hard c in carrot, and the addition of n to a when preceding a noun starting with a vowel, such as an aubergine or an orange for example. The aim of the game is to create an English sentence chain as quickly as possible. There are 28 fruits featured in the game: green apple; red apple; banana; cherry; date; fig; grapefruit; green grapes; red grapes; honeydew melon; kiwi; lemon; lime; mango; nectarine; olive; orange; papaya; peach; pear; pineapple; pumpkin; raspberry; redcurrants; rhubarb; starfruit; strawberry; watermelon and 28 vegetables: artichoke; asparagus; aubergine; green beans; beetroot; broccoli; Brussels sprout; cabbage; carrot; cauliflower; celery; cucumber; garlic; leek; lettuce; mushroom; onion; peas; green pepper; red pepper; yellow pepper; potato; sweet potato; radish; spinach; sweetcorn; tomato; zucchini There is implicit input on grammatical concepts such as the lack of adjectival agreement and gender, and position of adjectives, which are often entirely new concepts for many ESL/EFL learners. Nouns feature definite, indefinite and partitive articles too. This is a very successful way of really getting the most of what looks like a straightforward game for consolidating the target vocabulary - it is actually so much more! The question card template provides an additional learning activity, with students applying their developing English language knowledge creatively and practically, as they make game cards for the class - this is a really popular activity with my students. I’d definitely recommend you laminate the cards, despite the extra prep and expense. They’re far more learner-friendly, and they will last for absolutely years.

It may not be copied, rewritten, amended, shared or distributed outside your own classroom in any way. The license for purchase is a single-user license only. Please read the Terms of Use carefully. This is a lively and communicative whole-group language learning game, perfect for practising, reinforcing & refreshing a range of fruits and vegetables in Spanish. The game has a multi-skill focus: listening, speaking & reading, with an important bonus focus on social interaction and participation. It’s perfect for pronunciation practice too - I point out particular phonemes, accents and sounds too - such as the tilde on the letter ñ, and how important that is in producing the correct sound of the word. The aim of the game is to create a Spanish sentence chain as quickly as possible, starting with Tengo la primera tarjeta, and ending with the final card, Tengo la última tarjeta. The game works well if the sentence sequence is placed on the floor, a longish table, or other flat surface. I created the game for my young advanced beginner Spanish learners, but I’ve also played the game with my older adult learners, who really enjoy it too. The design is four cards per page, which allows for a large font - this is really important for beginner language learners who are familiar with the written word in Spanish, and starting to link spelling with sound. Try to print in colour if you can - it adds to the visual appeal of the game, which is a real motivator for learning. There are 28 fruits featured in the game: green apple; red apple; banana; cherry; date; fig; grapefruit; green grapes; red grapes; honeydew melon; kiwi; lemon; lime; mango; nectarine; olive; orange; papaya; peach; pear; pineapple; pumpkin; raspberry; redcurrants; rhubarb; starfruit; strawberry; watermelon. with 28 vegetables: artichoke; asparagus; aubergine; green beans; beetroot; broccoli; Brussels sprout; cabbage; carrot; cauliflower; celery; cucumber; garlic; leek; lettuce; mushroom; onion; peas; green pepper; red pepper; yellow pepper; potato; sweet potato; radish; spinach; sweetcorn; tomato; zucchini.

FRENCH ADJECTIVES RECALL WORKBOOK #1

(0)
A LEVEL FRENCH GCSE FRENCH ADJECTIVES WRITTEN RECALL & SPELLING WORKBOOK Files are non-editable in a zipped format. The resource is copyright, all rights reserved. It may not be copied, rewritten, amended, shared or distributed, in whole or in part, outside your own classroom in any way. The license for purchase is a single-user license only. Please read the Terms of Use carefully. 66-page written recall workbook 400 French adjectives, French-English and English-French, with four written recall challenges. My students find the written recall challenges really useful throughout the school year, and particularly as we approach exam time - they generally like to work at their own pace, either in class time or at home. Students can challenge themselves multiple times, simply by covering over previous responses, which means we’re able to get a lot of use from a single book, saving both prep time and paper. We also use the book for quick vocabulary quizzes at frequent and regular intervals - I or a nominate student simply shout out the French or English adjectives, the first team to shout out the correct answer wins a point - it’s a great no-prep quiz for vocabulary recall practice and revision, and just as effective as more formal vocabulary assessment or tests. The workbook is ideal for higher GCSE French students, and as a refresher and vocabulary audit for those moving into KS5 A Level French. There are four written recall challenges in the workbook: Written Recall Challenge One all four hundred adjectives in alphabetical order French-English - students are prompted for the English translation of a French adjective Written Recall ChallengeTwo this challenge also requires students to write the English translation from a French prompt, but the adjectives are in random, rather than alphabetical order - students often learn new vocabulary in alphabetical order, so this can be great practice in recall Written Recall Challenge Three the four hundred adjectives are in alphabetical order English-French - students give the French translation of an English adjective Written Recall Challenge Four with this challenge, the English adjective prompts are in random order, and students give the French translation The challenges work well together, and we do revisit them regularly over quite a long period of time. When students are very focused on particular vocabulary, they’re able to embed the vocabulary really successfully, and feel confident using it in a wide range of contexts. It’s useful to work on creative writing in French regularly too, so that students can apply their French practically, and I encourage them to use a wide range of adjectives, thinking about synonyms too.

GCSE SPANISH KS4 SPANISH KS5 SPANISH VERBS Files are non-editable in a zipped format. The resource is copyright, all rights reserved. It may not be copied, rewritten, amended, shared or distributed, in whole or in part, outside your own classroom in any way. The license for purchase is a single-user license only. Please read the Terms of Use carefully. 500 high-frequency Spanish verbs, listed alphabetically both Spanish-English and English-Spanish - a great learning support resource for KS4 Spanish moving into advanced Spanish A Level learners, and can also be given to KS3 Spanish students, providing verb audit tool, and a language road map with learning goals, outlining the verbs they should ideally know by a specific stage in their learning. I create a lot of language learning reference books for my languages students, they’re really popular with my students, who like to have a bank of reference resources for both initial learning and longer-term revision. There are 42 pages in the book, and all 500 verbs are listed alphabetically Spanish-English and English-Spanish. I use the reference book for quick vocabulary quizzes too - either I or a nominated student shouts out a Spanish or English verb, with teams giving the corresponding Spanish or English verb - I’ve found this is a really successful way of avoiding more formal vocabulary tests, while still providing students with frequent opportunity to refresh and embed essential Spanish vocabulary. For UK teachers, these are roughly GCSE / Standard / age 16 examinations moving into advanced level, all examination boards (AQA, Edexcel, Eduqas, SQA). We use the Notes and Next Steps template to think about progress and vocabulary knowledge. Students find this really useful, and do like to map and track their own progress. It can be helpful in guiding and informing whole-group discussion about learning and progress in general, which is a really useful learning activity too - students also note down any new Spanish verbs they learn, enabling them to build a really comprehensive verb vocabulary reference resource. The verbs are useful for engaging with the following topics and themes: = youth, identity & lifestyle = fashion = culture, customs and traditions = relationships and family = technology and social media = sport, health and fitness = free time, hobbies and interests = entertainment and leisure = food and drink = Spain and Spanish-speaking countries = local, national & international global areas of interest = transport = holidays, tourism and travel = environment, pollution, recycling and climate = social issues = school, college, current and future study = work experience, skills and personal qualities = employment, ambitions and career plans ¡MUCHAS GRACIAS Y BUEN APRENDIZAJE!

GCSE SPANISH KS4 SPANISH KS3 SPANISH SPANISH AR VERBS CONJUGATION PRACTICE Files are non-editable in a zipped format. The product is copyright, all rights reserved. It may not be copied, rewritten, amended, shared or distributed outside your own classroom, in whole or in part, in any way. The license is a single-user license only. Please read the Terms of Use 3 workbooks, 3 tenses @ £1.10 each in the bundle focusing on 25 high-frequency Spanish AR verbs. The tenses are: = present (presente) = perfect (perfecto compuesto) = preterite (pretérito) There are 150 quick conjugations in each workbook across 3 differentiated conjugation challenges, so 450 conjugations in total in the bundle. My students really like this kind of grammar activity, as they like to work and learn independently, which is a successful way of varying teaching and learning methodologies - I’ve found it’s really important to avoid predominantly teacher-led learning in the languages classroom. The workbooks are ideal for advanced KS3 Spanish into KS4 Spanish / GCSE Spanish students who are beginning to work regularly with more complex language and texts, and generally developing their knowledge and understanding of conjugation and tense in Spanish. I use these kinds of workbooks in lots of different ways: for practice during the introduction phase, for independent choice in class time, for home learning, for practice, reinforcing and revision during vacation and at return to class, and for individual activities during sub lessons - I move onto conjugation quite quickly in my language learning programs, so that students can apply language practically and creatively, which is essential for progressing in language learning, as well as consolidating language and grammatical concepts. I give my students regular opportunities to practice the conjugations during the whole schools year, which they find this really useful for mapping their own progress and developing their overall understanding of how Spanish conjugation ‘works’. When they are able to provide the correct conjugation very quickly, and out of a specific context, they feel really confident that their conjugation skills are developing well Language learners do often try to conflate what they know about grammar in their first language with the grammar of the language they are learning. With the Spanish perfect tense for example, students with English as a first language frequently use tener instead of haber as the auxiliary, as they tend to be more familiar with tener. Students do need to to have a good grasp of the auxiliary verb haber in the present tense to ensure that they can form the Spanish perfect tense accurately. When we look at the preterite tense in Spanish, students often confuse it with the imperfect tense when they are conjugating verbs, as well as when and how to use either tense. There are specific and important differences in usage between the tenses, and I do always discuss this with students about this when we’re using the workbooks. Each set is structured as follows: Two alphabetical verb reference lists: Spanish-English and English-Spanish, useful for longer-term reference too Three differentiated conjugation challenges, each with 50 individual conjugations: Conjugation Challenge 1: each verb conjugated in Spanish across a range of pronouns, with students writing the corresponding English verb conjugation. Conjugation Challenge 2: gives the infinitive of each verb in Spanish, specifying the target pronoun. Students write the corresponding verb conjugation in Spanish. Conjugation Challenge 3: students write the corresponding Spanish verb conjugation, and its infinitive, from a Spanish prompt. I use the Notes and Next Steps template to encourage my students to reflect on their progress, and think about what they can reasonably and realistically do to meet learning targets and move on - we revisit the conjugations, and the Notes and Next Steps, regularly - sometimes students haven’t quite embedded learning before it’s time to move on, so revisiting for 10-minute ‘chunks’ is really popular with them. Students not any new verbs they learn, which in time builds into a really comprehensive verb vocabulary bank. We also use the Notes and Next Steps to inform, guide and focus whole-group discussion on learning and progress in general, which is a really popular activity. The answer key has six pages and is in book format. Answer keys are essential for this kind of learning activity, as they do provide a really essential additional opportunity for students to engage with language, and my students prefer to work and learn independently, assessing their own progress, either individually, in pairs or in small groups. They’re a great teacher time-saver too, which is always a good thing!

KS3 SPANISH KS4 SPANISH GCSE SPANISH VERBS CARDS 2 sets of 99 high-frequency Spanish verbs with 99 matching English verbs cards with recall workbooks @ £1.75 each in the bundle Files are non-editable in a zipped format. The resource is copyright, all rights reserved. It may not be copied, rewritten, amended, shared or distributed outside your own classroom in any way. The license for purchase is a single-user license only. Please read the Terms of Use carefully. The verbs cards really do help to create a lively language learning environment, ideal for advanced beginner Spanish learners, as they prepare to move into and work confidently at intermediate Spanish level. The games and activities are a really successful alternative to more traditional ‘vocabulary drilling’ exercises. Students can develop, embed, reinforce and refresh their core Spanish verbs vocabulary in a cooperative, communicative and interactive way, independently of the teacher. The game cards and accompanying Recall & Write activities have a bonus multi-skill focus on listening, speaking, pronunciation, reading, writing and spelling. It doesn’t matter if any of the verbs don’t feature in your medium or even longer-term learning plan: this is a great way of encouraging your students to engage with new language, and to build their vocabulary at the same time. This prepares them really well for***creative activities in Spanish*** - they will have a rich vocabulary to choose from. Students can work independently of the teacher, challenging themselves and each other in their best Spanish accent to find all the matching verbs cards in Spanish and English. The card templates allow students to apply their Spanish knowledge practically and creatively, as they put together mini-quiz cards for each other, preferably from memory. This is an essential aspect of successful language learning. The Reference, Recall & Write book has 18 pages. It includes an alphabetical Spanish-English reference list of all 99 verbs. Students find this really useful as a learning support resource, and it comes in very handy for quick vocabulary quizzes too. The Recall and Write challenges help students familiarize themselves with, and really embed, the range of verbs in the set, and also get used to reading, writing and spelling in Spanish. It’s also a great way of developing literacy skills in Spanish. The challenges can be done several times, as students simply cover previous responses, so they definitely get a lot of use from a single workbook. There are three differentiated recall challenges: Written Recall Challenge One students write the English verbs from a Spanish prompt, with all the verbs in alphabetical order, Spanish-English. Written Recall Challenge Two again, students write the verbs in English from a Spanish prompt, but the Spanish verbs are now in random, rather than alphabetical order. Language learners often learn or are familiar with new vocabulary in a particular order, so it increases the recall challenge by changing that order. Written Recall Challenge Three the final challenge requires students to write the corresponding Spanish verb from an English prompt. The English verbs are also in random order. This challenge really helps with vocabulary recall, which is quite challenging when vocabulary does not appear in the context of a sentence. It’s really useful for spelling in Spanish too. I encourage students to visit the Ideas, Notes and Next Steps page regularly, reflecting not only on the verbs they feel confident about, but also how they think their skills in listening, speaking, pronouncing Spanish, reading and writing are developing - and equally importantly, what they can reasonably do to keep improving. I always have activities where creative application of language is required too, so that they can use the verbs in real-world contexts, which is essential for progressing in language learning. We also use their notes to guide and inform whole-group discussion about learning and progress in general, which again is really useful, and a very popular activity with students too. The resource works best when used frequently and regularly - students should store their work carefully in a learning folder or file that they can refer to at any point to support their learning and revision. Students also note down any new, related vocabulary, which builds into a really comprehensive high-frequency Spanish verb vocabulary bank in a very short space of time. Laminate the game cards if you can - they are far more learner-friendly, and the additional prep and expense is definitely worth it, as the cards will last in excellent conditional for years. Print & photocopy an appropriate number of quiz card templates and Reference, Recall & Write books. The books are best copied double-sided, and double-stapled on the left-hand side, rather than a single staple in the top left-hand corner for example. This format is again far more reader and writer-friendly, and can be used more effectively as a learning and reference resource. Have a browse in my store for more Spanish independent learning activities, and a wide range of other Spanish teaching and learning materials, with Spanish resource boxes, special offer bundles, and lots of freebies - I’ve included a couple here for you to have a look at. ¡MUCHAS GRACIAS Y BUEN APRENDIZAJE!

A LEVEL FRENCH GCSE FRENCH KS5 FRENCH KS4 FRENCH ADJECTIVES REFERENCE BOOK & RECALL WORKBOOK @ £1.75 EACH IN THE BUNDLE Files are non-editable in a zipped format. The bundle is copyright, all rights reserved. It may not be copied, rewritten, amended, shared or distributed, in whole or in part, outside your own classroom in any way. The license for purchase is a single-user license only. Please read the Terms of Use carefully. FRENCH ADJECTIVES BOOK: 400 high-frequency French adjectives, listed alphabetically both French-English and English-English with gender agreement guide - a great learning support resource for higher GCSE French and as a refresher and vocabulary audit for KS5 French A Level French students. It’s useful to give the book to advanced KS3 French students who are planning to continue with French into KS4 and beyond too, as it provides a language road map with learning goals, outlining the adjectives they should ideally know by a specific stage in their learning. I create a lot of language learning reference books for my languages students, they’re really popular with my students, who like to have a bank of reference resources for both initial learning and longer-term learning and revision. There are 42 pages in the book, and all 400 adjectives are listed alphabetically French-English and English-French. Each adjective is also shown in the masculine, feminine, singular and plural forms, which my students find really helpful as they begin to engage with gender agreement in French. FRENCH ADJECTIVES WRITTEN RECALL & SPELLING WORKBOOK 66-page written recall workbook featuring 400 French adjectives, French-English and English-French, with four written recall challenges. My students find the written recall challenges really useful throughout the school year, and particularly as we approach exam time - they generally like to work at their own pace, either in class time or at home. Students can challenge themselves multiple times, simply by covering over previous responses, which means we’re able to get a lot of use from a single book, saving both prep time and paper. There are four written recall challenges in the workbook: Written Recall Challenge One all four hundred adjectives in alphabetical order French-English - students are prompted for the English translation of a French adjective Written Recall ChallengeTwo this challenge also requires students to write the English translation from a French prompt, but the adjectives are in random, rather than alphabetical order - students often learn new vocabulary in alphabetical order, so this can be great practice in recall Written Recall Challenge Three the four hundred adjectives are in alphabetical order English-French - students give the French translation of an English adjective Written Recall Challenge Four with this challenge, the English adjective prompts are in random order, and students give the French translation The challenges work well together, and we do revisit them regularly over quite a long period of time. When students are very focused on particular vocabulary, they’re able to embed the vocabulary really successfully, and feel confident using it in a wide range of contexts. It’s useful to work on creative writing in French regularly too, so that students can*** apply their French practically***, and I encourage them to use a wide range of adjectives, thinking about synonyms too. We also use the books for quick vocabulary quizzes at frequent and regular intervals - I or a nominate student simply shout out the French or English adjectives, the first team to shout out the correct answer wins a point - it’s a great no-prep quiz for vocabulary recall practice and revision, and just as effective as more formal vocabulary assessment or tests. We use the Notes and Next Steps template to think about progress and vocabulary knowledge. Students find this really useful, and do like to map and track their own progress. It can be helpful in guiding and informing whole-group discussion about learning and progress in general, which is a really useful learning activity too - students also note down any new French adjectives they learn, enabling them to build a really comprehensive adjective vocabulary reference resource. The adjectives are useful for engaging with the following topics and themes: youth, identity & lifestyle : fashion : culture, customs and traditions : relationships and family : technology and social media : sport, health and fitness : free time, hobbies and interests : entertainment and leisure : food and drink France and French-speaking countries : local, national & international global areas of interest : transport : holidays, tourism and travel : environment, pollution, recycling and climate : social issues : school, college, current and future study work experience, skills and personal qualities : employment, ambitions and career plans Have a browse in my store for more French vocabulary reference books, and a wide range of other French teaching and learning resources, with special offer bundles, French resource boxes, and lots of freebies too - I’ve included a couple here for you to have a look at.

GERMAN TELLING THE TIME WORD WALLS

GERMAN TELLING THE TIME WORD WALLS

5 Resources
PRIMARY GERMAN KS3 GERMAN BEGINNER GERMAN TELLING THE TIME O’CLOCK, HALF PAST THE HOUR, QUARTER TO & QUARTER PAST THE HOUR WORD WALLS two sets @ £1.75 each in the bundle These word walls create an instant introduction to telling the time in German. The sets feature analogue clock times, o’clock and half past the hour, and quarter to & quarter past the hour. I like to introduce telling the time as soon as possible in my German learning programmes, as it lends itself really well to promoting speaking in the classroom, talking about daily routines for example. The word walls are useful not only during the***introductory phase***, but also during the practice and consolidation phase, ensuring that key language is always visible and accessible to learners. This is particularly important when working with half past the hour in German, which students of all grades tend to find challenging; similarly viertel vor und nach, which sometimes also required a little extra practice. It’s important not to move ahead with time phrases too quickly, and I make sure that students are fully confident with a time set before introducing a new one. We talk a lot about the similarities and differences in how we tell the time in the different languages too, and I’ve found that very young learners actually develop their confidence in telling the time in their first language. I do vary my word wall displays on a regular basis, as they’re great as revision tools too, and this also prevents learning displays becoming ‘invisible’ to students. There are two cards per 8.5 x 11 (A4) page in landscape format, which facilitates a sufficiently large font size that can be seen from various locations in the classroom. There are two headers in Set 1: Die Uhrzeit and ***Wie spät ist es?***, and an additional header in Set 2: Wie viel Uhr ist es? Creating new headers, such as Die Uhrzeit lesen is a really popular activity too. There are two backgrounds to choose from: German flag, which looks really good for German vocabulary / key language display, or black wave. If you can, laminate the word wall cards, as they hang really well, and last in excellent condition for years, meaning you can recycle the same word wall for a long time. Have a look at this German Numbers 0-21 word wall freebie: it’s the same format as these sets, so you’ll be able to see whether the design would work well in your classroom: GERMAN NUMBERS 0-21 WORD WALL FREEBIE https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/german-numbers-0-21-word-wall-freebie-12441122 Have a browse in my store for more German word wall and learning decor / displays, as well as a wide range of other German teaching and learning materials, with German resource boxes, special offer bundles, and lots of freebies - I’ve added a couple here for you to try.

SPANISH VOCABULARY CHRISTMAS GAMES CARDS & QUIZZES

(2)
KS3 CHRISTMAS PRIMARY SPANISH VOCABULARY CHRISTMAS ACTIVITIES TWO SETS @ £1.80 EACH IN THE BUNDLE 396 BEGINNER SPANISH & ENGLISH VOCABULARY CARDS, 198 WORDS & PHRASES WITH TWO MULTI-SKILL 60-QUESTION QUIZZES I think that lessons in the run-up to Christmas provide the perfect opportunity to revisit language we’ve learnt earlier in the school year - my beginner Spanish students really enjoy going back over and consolidating the vocab that they were introduced to right at the beginning of their learning. I created various sets of Christmas-themed vocab cards to get them feeling festive - it definitely works! I tend to have several sets all ready, and keep them in learning folders, so that students can choose which vocab groups they want to work on, though often they like to work with the complete set, so it’s a good idea to have a couple of sets so that there are enough to go round. The Santa cards have vocabulary in the following word groups: = Los saludos = Los días de la semana = Los meses del año = Las cuatro estaciones del año = Los números 0 a 31 = Los colores = Los países del mundo The Snowmen cards have vocabulary in the following word groups: = Los animales (indefinite article, all singular) = Las partes del cuerpo (definite article, range of singular and plural) = El tiempo = Las frutas y verduras (definite article) = Las asignaturas (definite article) My students really like to learn independently, and I’ve described a range of games that they particularly enjoy. They love the competitive element of the whole-group quizzes, though the pdf version works really well too for small groups - and if you’re homeschooling. There are a lot of cards, which means quite a bit of prep - if you can, laminate them, not only because they’re far better to learn with, but also because you’ll be able to use them over and over again for years! The quizzes are no-prep, and good to go - they’re non-editable, because of the Terms of Use of the clipart and fonts I’ve used, so have a quick look through before you play - the whole-group version moves forward with a single click. The Santas and Snowmen are also available separately, priced at £3 each. Files are non-editable in a zipped format. The product is copyright, all rights reserved.

GERMAN FRUITS & VEGETABLES FLASHCARDS POSTERS

(1)
PRIMGERMAN FRUITS & VEGETABLES FLASHCARDS POSTERS two sets of flashcards @ $1.80 each in the bundle Das Obst und Gemüse auf Deutsch 25 fruits & 25 vegetables in German, definite article, masculine & feminine, singular & plural. Using flashcards to introduce and practice language is a popular and successful language teaching and learning method, providing lots of opportunity for vocabulary games and recall. The flashcards are equally useful as classroom posters, keeping key target language prominent and visible, as well as creating a really German ambiance in the learning environment. I use this set to gradually introduce and work on the concept of gender, and to provide speaking and pronunciation prompts, from the straightforward Was ist das? to Ja/nein or Richtig/falsch questions, which allow us to move to from one-word responses to more complex language, such as plurals or particularly negative sentences, which can be quite tricky in German, and often requires a lot of practice Nein, das ist kein Apfel, das ist eine Banane and so on. This kind of vocabulary is really useful for an implicit approach to introducing and practicing the accusative of articles too, for example Ich habe einen Blumenkohol, Ich habe den Blumenkohl. The key focus on on the definite article, both masculine and feminine, singular and plural, though I do use the set to start to compare these with the indefinite article, which I’ve found to be a really successful way of helping students embed grammatical concepts such as gender, implicitly, without the need for repeated explicit instruction. It’s good to move away from predominantly teacher-led activities, and after the initial introduction phase, I have students take turns manipulating the cards and asking the questions. Again, this is a really popular activity, and a very easy way of enabling students to practise asking questions, instead of always responding to them. The fruits are: green apples; red apple; bananas; cherries; dates; fig; green grapes; red grapes; kiwi; lemon; mango; nectarine; olives; oranges; papaya; peach; pears; pineapple; pumpkin; raspberry; redcurrants; rhubarb; starfruit; strawberries; watermelon The vegetables are: artichoke; asparagus; beetroot; broccoli; cabbage; carrots; cauliflower; celery; corn; cucumber; eggplants/aubergines; French/green beans; garlic; leeks; lettuce; mushrooms; onions; peas; red peppers; yellow pepper; potatoes; sprouts; spinach; sweet potatoes; tomato The posters are 8.5 x 11 (A4) portrait size. There are two backgrounds to choose from - German flag or black wave, so 100 posters in total. The fruits and vegetables are in my store separately, at £3.00 each. The files are non-editable in a zipped format. They’re copyright, all rights reserved. They may not be copied, rewritten, shared or distributed in any way.

GCSE FRENCH KS4 FRENCH KS3 FRENCH CONJUGATION PRACTICE REFLEXIVE VERBS PRESENT, PERFECT & IMPERFECT TENSES 3 workbooks @ £1.20 each in the bundle 25 high-frequency reflexive verbs, 150 conjugation questions in each set across 3 differentiated challenges, so 450 conjugations in total, answer keys & verb lists The product is non-editable in a zipped format.

Please read the Terms of Use. My students really like this kind of grammar activity, as they like to work and learn independently, which is a successful way of varying teaching and learning methodologies - I’ve found it’s really important to avoid predominantly teacher-led learning in the languages classroom. French reflexive verbs can be quite tricky, particularly for students whose first language does not have a similar reflexive verb group. The workbooks focus on formation and conjugation, rather than usage, though it’s definitely useful to remind students of a number of things when focusing on or revising tense and verb formation and conjugation. Language learners do often try to conflate what they know about grammar in their first language with the grammar of the language they are learning, and students whose first language is English often use the auxiliary avoir instead of être with the passé composé for example. Students do need to to have a good grasp of the auxiliary verb être in the present tense to ensure that they can form the perfect tense in French accurately. In terms of the past participle, students begin to be able to predict it accurately, the more they see it, and construct it. French reflexive verbs tend to require additional practice for learners with English as a first language - firstly, the correct reflexive pronoun, and secondly, its location within a clause or sentence in relation to the pronoun and verbs. With l’imparfait, I often see students using j’étais me lever, je m’étais lever or even j’étais se lever instead of je me levais as a translation of I was getting up. There are specific differences in usage between English and French with this tense, and I do always discuss this with students about this when we’re using the workbooks - I tend to work fairly simultaneously with le passé composé and l’imparfait, because students are better able to understand correct usage when they look at a range of past tense contexts together, for example I have got up, I got up, I was getting up, I used to get up. Though the workbooks focus on formation / conjugation, rather than usage, I do always discuss these kinds of issues with students about this when we’re using the workbooks. I’ve found that this kind of conjugation practice workbook really helps students to***recognise and predict*** conjugation patterns. Though the workbooks focus solely on the correct conjugation of verbs, and does not look at word order in the context of full sentences, there are conjugation patterns that students can learn, recognise and apply, ensuring that their spoken and written French is accurate, and that their understanding of French across the skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing is robust. Students become very familiar and confident the more they work with conjugation, and these quick conjugations certainly help to embed that successfully.
