I've been particularly busy on my frenchteacher site lately, adding a variety of new resources at different levels, as well as updating my links pages and replacing some out-of-date resources.
Below is a list of new stuff I have added over the last two weeks.
By the way, I usually mention the CEFR (Common European Framework) level for the benefit of thise teachers do not work in the English system and don't know what Y7,8, 9 etc means. And for those teachers in England who aren't sure about those levels, A1 is roughly Y7-8, A2 is roughly Y9-11, B1 is roughly Y11-12, and B2 is roughly Y13. American teachers use their own levels based on the ACTFL guidelines.
There is a detailed chart in this document which lays out the equivalences between these different levels.
A narrow reading worksheet for Y8 (or a weaker Y9). A matching "Who wrote..?" task, sentences to complete and translate. CEFR A1.
A current affairs resource. A short text about reaction to Emmanuel Macron's televised speech to the nation on the current situation. Text to summarise with English bullet points, then orally in French. Suitable for Y13. CEFR B1/2.
A text with exercises about rap music in France. (AQA music topic.) Text, words to find, questions in French, verbs to underline and translate, conversation. Answers given. CEFR B1. Good for Y12 or Y13 (you could adapt the exercises for fast Y13s).
A 'text + exercises' resource on the latest immigration figures for France (2024). This replaces a resource about the figures for 2022. Vocab to find, true sentences to spot, a paired vocab test and 90-word summary. Answers given. Good for Y13. Level B2.
Two translation dice games to practise ce qui/ce que and dont. Good for a fast Y12, or Y13. CEFR B1.
An A-level dialogue to read aloud and adapt. This one is about the pros and cons of music streaming, with a little data from France (AQA sub-theme). These dialogues encourage students to paraphrase, as well as providing masses of good language input for conversation and writing. CEFR B1.
A video listening task based on a Portrait d'enfant video from Arte. This is a gap-fill task suitable for Higher GCSE. These videos are great insights into the life of children around the world. I have quite a few worksheets linked to these from the site. CEFR A2.
Two more tense recognition exercises. The first is past or future, the second is past, present or future. 20 sentences to listen to in each case. Aimed at Y9, but could be used with very fast Y8 or weaker Y10-11.
This is a text with exercises about the growing popularity of rosé wine in France. Suitable for adult learners (Level B1 or over). After writing it I realised I had written a very similar resource already! However, this one has different exercises and the text is rewritten courtesy of Chat GPT.
A simple recognition task to see if students can hear the difference between present and past. 20 short sentences to recognise and translate. As an add-on you could display the sentences and students have to change one element in each. Could also be used with a fast Y8 class. CEFR A1/2.
An A-level current affairs article and exercises on the bill to ban the use of "puffs" (disposable vapes). Bullet point notes to take in English, oral summary in French, general discussion. Possible answers given.
Two sheets for revision of present tense verb forms. The first has almost all regular verbs, the second irregular. Gaps to fill with infinitives given. Each sentence may be translated too. Answers given. CEFR A2.
I have updated and added answers to a sheet on the passive on the A-level grammar section. Expect some new A-level grammar resources soon.
A text reconstruction task where students ask the teacher questions about a text the teacher has. Students take notes and report back before the text is revealed. CEFR B1/2.
