French - Francophone food reading challenge

(0)
The text is on the topic of traditional food in Francophone countries and is aimed at KS3 or 4. In 2 teams, pupils choose a word to find in the text. The pupils don’t know what each word is worth. Click on the word they have chosen when they have correctly identified it in the text and their score will be revealed. The winning team is the team with the highest score once all words have been found in the text.

French - Clothes reading peer homework

(0)
In this reading homework, students write questions about the texts (in French or in English, depending on the group's ability) for their partner, who then answers the questions when in class when the homework is due. They then both write a WWW & EBI for each other's answers.

German - Put the months in order

(0)
Ideal as a lesson starter or as an introduction to the German months. Pupils must simply put the months in the correct order. Months are then put in order one by one on the second slide.

French - Animal sounds

(0)
Use this PPT to introduce the sounds that common animals make. Essentially, it’s a way of using and practising the sound-spelling patterns in French.

German - Just a minute (holidays)

(0)
Pupils choose a number between 1 and 5. Click on the number and it will take you to the corresponding topic. Pupils talk for a minute, answering each question. The blue arrow takes you back to the numbers slide. Questions are about holidays in German (e.g. What do you like doing on holiday?)
Translation pairwork template

Translation pairwork template

(0)
Pupils work in pairs. Give them a text to translate on the sheet individually to start with, then they swap for their partner to check (in their opinion). Their partner puts a mark in the box (my pupils like drawing sad faces for some reason!) for each error they think their partner has made. Encourages discussion.

I have a copy of this on my classroom wall and a set of cards for pupils when they are doing transcription pairwork. It's a list of punctuation phrases in German and English.

German - Transcription pairwork template

(0)
Use this template to practise transcription work in pairs. There is a sheet for person A and one for person B. Type the 2 different texts into the relevant boxes (they must be 2 different texts). Pupils then take it in turns to read their text to their partner, who must then write what they hear in the empty box. After they have both finished, they then compare their written text to the original on their partner's sheet and tally any errors made.

French - Spontaneous Speaking stick-in sheet

This is a single page copy of some of the slides on the spontaneous speaking PPT. It’s designed to be stuck in pupils’ books for reference, so they can use the phrases in lessons (e.g. agreeing, justifying your opinion, etc.)

Dice rolling paragraph template

Dice rolling paragraph template

(0)
Pupils work in pairs to produce a paragraph on any given topic. They take it in turns to roll the dice. The phrase corresponding to their number is the one they have to use. When they’ve completed it, they then learn it. Good practice for learning to learn! They must also check that the phrase makes sense. If it doesn’t (incorrect tense, etc.), they must roll again. It’s a good idea to print this off as well.

Fading texts template

(0)
Use the space on each slide to enter the words/phrases you want pupils to memorise whilst they’re fading automatically. They could then either write them out or translate them either during the fade or after. Each slide takes 10, 20 and 30 seconds to fade out.
French - Rooms in the house paired gap-fill
TheMFLTeacherTheMFLTeacher

French - Rooms in the house paired gap-fill

(0)
Pupils work in pairs to read the paragraph about rooms in the house. Each pupil has the same paragraph, but with gaps in different places. By reading to each other, they fill in the gaps in their own paragraph, promoting speaking, listening and transcription skills.
