Bonjour, I have been a Fench and Spanish teacher for 22 years now, and I truly enjoy making engaging and colourful resources for my classes. I wanted to share some with you to save you time (we all know that teachers never get enough time!). Feel free to adapt and change anything to your taste and teaching style.

-Powerpoint with explanation, cards and prompts to spark speaking or writing (pair-work competition).
-Cards to be printed, laminated and separated in envelopes: 4 different sections with 12 expressions (time phrases, verbs, connectives, adjectives).
-Prompts: 13 slides with a different theme, to prompt pupils to write or say a sentence, using all 4 words picked from each category (verbs must be conjugated correctly, depending on the time phrase picked).
-Great pair-work activity, pupils compete against each other and must justify why their sentence is better than their partner (accuracy, length, additional details…).
-You could make it a timed competition.
-The idea comes from a CPD that I went to, I then designed my own activity around this idea.
-My pupils enjoy having a break from their computers and it encourages kinesthetic learning, as well as writing / speaking in a spontaneous way.
-2 powerpoints: foundation and higher, with 10 role plays each (exploring every theme), with support box (key words for candidates).
-2 word documents: foundation and higher, with the answers of each role play.
-I printed role plays on a laminated card (both sides with a different role play), and made a booklet of the answers (one booklet per level). Great for pair-work activities!
-A series of photos with questions and prompts for each theme of the IGCSE speaking examination photo task.
-2 photos per theme: one slide has the questions in English with prompts in French, the next has the questions in French only (to spark pair-work discussion).
