This is a PowerPoint I used in our MFL celebration assembly. It has recent quotes from the Independent and the Guardian about the importance of languages, a slide explaining how learning a languages benefits pupils, a Wordle type graphic showing the main skills that come out when you enter articles/surveys about language learning, a slide which shows specifically why students have been chosen as winners and some slides to add the names of winners. This could also be used on open evenings and around options time and also for general display in MFL faculties.

At least 3 lessons worth on the environment topic. Focuses on the top 10 biggest environmental problems in the world. Includes a video with transcript, gap fill and retranslation activity. Also included is a vocab sheet for one of the starters. This is quite challenging, so more appropriate for higher candidates, but foundation can also access it with the support provided.

A template of a newspaper which can be used as display in MFL departments, or for open evening. Customisable for your own school. Print out in colour on A3 paper. Includes up-to-date quotations from the broadsheets about language learning.

Is anyone else fed up of their foundation students not using their resources and writing whatever pops into their heads, or complaining that 40 words is too much?! In this document, I have written 10(ish) words for every AQA bullet point so far to show them a) It’s not that much per bullet point and b) they can keep it simple and use phrases from the resources they’ve been given! Fingers crossed it works!

Link to Video below: This is a worksheet to be used in conjunction with one of the Deutsche Bahn Christmas adverts. It fits in nicely with the GCSE topic of homelessness. Includes a gap fill of the advert transcript. Comprehension questions in German to be completed in full sentences and a short translation activity. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tb1_SY2Kks0

This is a bundle of resources to help Year 10 pupils write answers to suggested speaking questions for Theme 1, Unit 1, although it could be used for other revision too. It is based on the Kerboodle book and I have taken suggested questions from the book only, so that most can be answered with mainly what is in the book, and not many additional resources. Where additional resources are required, I have provided them. Included is: A vocab sheet focusing on key words from the topic. A grammar sheet focusing on how to say what you do/did/will do with your family/friends in different tenses (I included this as there was not much in the book on it and the other tenses are not studied in detail until later on in the book. It is suitable for pupils who have studied other tenses in KS3 and need a reminder. Example sentences can be adapted by them, even if they don’t fully understand how to use the tenses yet. Example answers to the suggested speaking questions with a bullet point list of grammar points they can spot and highlight before attempting their own answers. A sheet for their own answers including a checklist of the aforementioned grammar points. A PowerPoint to bring it all together.
