A document entitles "Knowledge Portfolio" specifically designed to support A-level students in their preparation for the Paper 3 speaking assessment. This is for the AQA specification and includes lots of knowledge points, e.g. facts and figures, which students might be able to use and develop in their conversations on sub-themes. They could add these points to their existing knowledge.

For Foundation and Higher Tier GCSE I have produced two "knowledge organisers" which take the form of sentences by theme and topic with parallel translations.

See the blog for a brief discussion of knowledge organisers (which sometimes look like learning mats).

Video listening for Y8 (maybe Y9). This is a short Alain Le Lait sing-along. Great little useful fun filler for a lesson. My worksheet gets pupils to complete short perfect tense translations from the song. If you don't know of Alain Le Lait check him out on YouTube.

Video listening for higher tier GCSE (intermediate). A two minute report about a cycling holiday in the Loire. With gap-fill, expressions to translate into French from the report and a pair work review task. Nice clear French. Answers provided. This would suit a very good Y11 group or even intermediate adult students.

Stick-in "writing strips" which can be used as prompts for Higher Tier GCSE writing (intermediate). These were sent to me by Mel Bulmer and are also on the free samples page. Students stick them on the left hand side of their exercise book or paper.

I am also grateful to Chris Tanner who sent me updated versions of two A-level documents on the site: notes on the political system and the left and right in French politics. These are marked as updated on the A-level page.

Advanced video listening. This one is about electronic tags from FR3/Youtube (AQA sub-theme "Comment on traite les criminels"). Vocab to complete and questions in French for oral or written work. As always check the availability of this video.
