French GCSE Conversation booklet (Speaking) Edexcel

(0)
Free preview available ! (Link at the end of the description). Concept of the booklet: The concept of this Conversation booklet is straightforward - Simple questions, Complex answers. The aim of this speaking booklet is to enhance students’ results by removing (as much as possible) the first layer of difficulty when it comes to the conversation task: understanding the question. To do this, the 9 questions per theme follow the pattern below: Parle-moi de…  present tense (x2) Qu’est-ce que tu penses de…  Opinion (x3) ____ dernier/dernière, …  past tense (x2) _____ prochain / prochaine,…  future tense (x2) Opinion questions: you can also ask them a closed question always starting with « tu aimes…? » and coach them to develop their answers. Eg: « tu aimes le foot? » rather than «Qu’est-ce que tu penses du foot? » The booklet also contains: Presentation of the conversation task (what, timings, themes and topics) Presentation of the top band markscheme for Higher and Foundation. Language elements to meet each requirement of the markscheme. One minute presentation: writing frame (designed by a colleague of mine) for Higher and Foundation + space to write. 5 themes that each includes: –> A list of what is included in the theme –> Model answers (WAGOLL), divided in “Grade 3”, “Grade 4/5”, “Grade 6+”, translated and with a paragraph explaining why it’s a good answer against the markscheme. This is being done for a question asking for present tense, for an opinion, for past tenses and for future tenses, for each theme (a total of 20 models analysed against the mark scheme). –> 9 questions as detailed above –> Elements to stretch their answers.
