This is a lesson I produced for my Lower Sixth to introduce the subjunctive. There is a worksheet to accompany the presentation with a fairly comprehensive list of structures.
Nine posters each of a different French tense (present, perfect, imperfect, conditional, future, pluperfect, future perfect, conditional perfect and the subjunctive mood), which can be printed onto A3 paper and laminated to provide a colourful classroom display for GCSE and A level students.
You can edit these yourself too.
NEW EDITION ADDED. You need to print this in colour in order for it to work. Throw a die, land on a square and conjugate the verb in the correct tense. Get it wrong and go back three spaces. Very easy for you to edit to suit your groups.
This is a fast paced activity reviewing the perfect tense conjugation of German verbs. There are over 100 slides and five games to play. Slides give the English and pupils have ten seconds to find the German translation. The presentation is easily adaptable and can be used either as a whole lesson or as several short activities within a lesson. You can come back to it as often as you like. It helps pupils to perfect their translation of verbs in preparation for exams and helps boost confidence when speaking.
GCSE/ iGCSE French reading text on family and relationships. With comprehension questions, translation exercises, a writing question and explanatory notes and grammar exercises on reflexive verbs.
Answer sheet included.
Good for homework, revision, extension and independent work.
NEW VERSION ADDED We print these in A3 and have them on every table in every classroom. I have used suggested phrases from lots of sources as well as my own.
The pupils use the mats regularly during group talk activities and their spontaneous use of language has increased significantly.
This is adapted from an excellent handbook for Spanish AS students I found on the TES. I have used checklists and reference materials from other sources as well as my own work.
This is adapted from an excellent handbook for Spanish I found on the TES.
It contains advice on how to organize notes, essay planning, essay questions and specific notes on how to revise for each section of the paper.
This is just a Spanish version of the French game I uploaded. You can edit it to suit your groups. All they need are counters and dice. Throw the die and move forward and give the Spanish. If they cannot answer they move back three spaces. First to finish wins.
Please let me know if you spot any mistakes.

PowerPoint and accompanying workpack designed to encourage pupils to use a variety of complex structures in their spoken and written French. An extremely useful reference and revision tool for pupils to use as part of their exam preparation. The presentation is designed so that teachers can deliver a set of structures at a time in any order they please. You could also upload it to your VLE for pupils to access independently. Please do let me know if you spot any mistakes.
Includes exercises and notes on: negative expressions, direct object pronouns, relative pronouns, comparative, superlative, adverbs, connectives, emphatic pronouns, après avoir + infinitive, avant de + infinitive, continuous present, time expressions
Print out the cards and laminate them. Pupils work in pairs or small groups and race against each other to form the perfect tense with the cards after reading the infinitive and the subject from the PowerPoint. Good element of competition and really highlights how much (or little!) they actually know. Includes avoir and être verbs and agreement.
Can be easily adapted to suit your requirements too.
This is a vocabulary mark book for test results (we use it for grammar and vocabulary tests but it can be used for any subject) which can monitor test results, retests and ranks the class for each test to encourage competition.
I have included instructions on how to use the tracker.
The file is protected to stop people from erasing formulae but the password is MFL.
If you come up with a great update - do let me know. I know it isn't perfect!

This is a lesson I prepared to review the German present tense on the theme of free time activities. It can be used to accompany the Echo courses. It begins with a brain teaser (in German of course) to practise word association. Then present tense phrases are introduced. You can show the vocabulary more than once before asking the class to practise their memory skills. There is a verb drill and a brief reminder of how to form the present tense. There are reading and speaking exercises. Mention is also made of stem changing verbs (lesen/fahren/sehen).
