With the new IB curriculum, there is now a Listening exam so I’ve created this booklet which also covers some speaking and reading, on the topic of Experiences/Loisirs. However, this would also be suitable for A Level. There is a starter speaking activity on ‘un bon touriste/un mauvais touriste’ and also a reading activity on advantages and disadvantages of tourism, followed by a listening exercise on ecotourisme from a France24 extract and then a plenary. The link for the listening is in the booklet and I’ve also included the answers on a separate document. I hope it’s useful for you :)

Do you want to prepare your Year 13s for their Paper 2/Writing Exam? This is based on the old course but the advice and guidance will still be relevant for the new course. I have given this handbook to my SL+HL students and it includes everything they need to know for the exam, including: exam breakdown; checklists of the specific characteristics needed for each text type; a checklist for types of language and sentence structures needed for Level 4-7; a detailed explanation of each part of the mark scheme in a student-friendly way; a space for self-assessment, and lots of past paper questions for both SL and HL (including both Section A+B). My students are finding this so helpful, I hope you will too :)

Do you want to prepare your Year 13s for their IB French B oral exam? This is based on the old course but a lot of the advice and guidance can be used for the new course. I give this very detailed Handbook to both my SL and HL students to help them revise, which I use for class and homework. It includes: an explanation of the different parts of the exam; specific techniques to give an excellent presentation on a photo; strategies on how to give developed answers in the discussion; TOP TIPS; examples of photos used in previous exams; examples of questions for the discussion; Francophone culture linked to Option topics; SL and HL mark schemes; students to evaluate and assess previous candidates’ oral exams. The students find this Handbook very easy to use and use it all the time in the run-up to their speaking exam!

x4 mats for £4! These mats are differentiated into Bronze, Silver and Gold, so students feel supported but are also really motivated to push themselves; they know exactly what they need to do to improve their writing and speaking. Each of the ones uploaded here - one for Year 7, one for Year 8, one for Year 9, and one for Years 10+11 - include Bronze, Silver and Gold categories of connectives, qualifiers, adverbs of time, opinions and tenses. I also use them when students self or peer-assess their work and because it’s so clear and easy to read they love it! I print them in colour on A4 and laminate them, then give them out to students during writing and speaking tasks. They could also be printed on A3 and made as a poster. Great also for revision. I call them ‘Progress Mats’ / ‘Tapis de Progres’ - I hope you like them :)
