This contains two teaching resources: PLEASE NOTE THE VIDEOS ARE NO LONGER AVAILABLE AND HAVE BEEN WITHDRAWN FROM THE WEB AND SET TO PRIVATE. STILL LOTS OF GOOD RESOURCES. Resource A: I made this as a KS3 resource to show students that learning languages can certainly open doors in the future. Plan: Students mark on the progress line what they think of languages at the start of the lesson. Students listen to the celebrities talking about the languages that they speak and complete exercise A of the worksheet. Students read the statements and decide which ones are true. These are reviewed throughout the lesson and are finally marked at the end so that students can reflect on their learning throughout the lesson. The resources also include a version of the Game of Life. This is based on real life accounts of linguists. The links to the videos are in the footnotes of the powerpoint slides. Resource B Students complete the word search on page one of the workbook. This has some of the jobs that you can do with a language. Students then play Call my Bluff (explained on the ppt), This game matches job descriptions and jobs. Students then look at some of the international comapnies that recruit linguists by playing a snap game. The lesson ends with a true false test on why languages are important. This is also on resource A One of the video links is used again in resource B. I made resource B to follow on from A that I had used in the previous year.

Jean Pierre Bond et la Francophonie - Le Monde ne suffit pas!

(0)
Jean Pierre Bond must save the day again! The Bond criminals are plotting to steal the Mona Lisa! The criminals live in the French speaking world. Jean Pierre Bond must find them and work with other secret agents to stop them. Lesson 1 language - Naming French speaking countries Lesson 1 culture- Where are these countries? what are they like ? Lesson 2 language - types of houses and rooms in a house - designing a safe house. Lesson 2 culture -Flags of the French speaking countries and les Jeux de la Francophonie. Lesson 3 language - Preparing for an assessment on everything learnt so far. Lesson 3 Culture - the SOE and links to BOND - pictures have been removed but i have referenced the sources. This is a project that I made some years ago around 2009 to motivate boys especially to enjoy French more. I updated it last year and included some cultural based lessons too as there were many non specialists that taught French in my department last year. Please note that on the map reading task in week 2 I have left the information but deleted the maps. The lessons are based around teaching - countries and where I live, types of houses and rooms in the house. I am currently updating the second part of the lessons that include time, numbers and activities such as watching TV. These will be available soon.

Tour de France vocabulary tracker

This tracker sheet is to be stuck at the front of students books. Students use this to record their learning homework vocabulary marks. If students pass all six tests in the term then they are able to colour in the Tour de France vest for that term. Students love this and it is really clear to see that Homework is being set and marks are being recorded.

I often make these sheets to support students in practicing key questions and answers. The students practice the conversation repeatedly with a partner for a set number of minutes. When they reach a number in the dialogue and an underlined word they roll the dice and substitute in one from the list below that matches the number that has been rolled.

This is a worksheet that I recently used in an observation lesson. It supports students in building up sentences so that they can write a short paragraph about school rules. I have added grading as this is required at my school. I find this hard to do for single sentences at GCSE in MFL so please feel free to remove this.
