Students often find speaking really challenging in French class. They find it really useful to engage with activities that require them to reproduce language they are already familiar with, be creative with that language in order to produce new language, and also enable them to engage with entirely new language. This set features 100 conversation starters / speaking prompts in question format, featuring a broad range of language and grammar points. The CEFR level is roughly A2-B1, with some reference to B2, and is aimed at more advanced students, though a range of questions are suitable for KS3. The set includes a reference sheet with all the language featured in the set, and a planning sheet. The activity works well as a spontaneous speaking activity, and students also benefit from a more focused approach, where they can research and plan more detailed and complex responses as their competence and skills develop. The set works equally well as creative writing prompts.

A broad range of language and grammar is featured, some of which students may not yet have formally covered. It’s useful to include new or unknown language in learning activities, as this gives students the opportunity both to practice and consolidate knowledge, to engage with and actively learn new language, and so to progress in their learning.

Frequent and regular engagement with the activity brings the best results: with the planning sheet, students can create and prepare increasingly detailed and more complex responses, reflecting their learning progress. It’s useful to read through the questions together as a whole-group, with students offering initial suggested responses. This ensures everyone can actually access the language, and they also benefit a lot from each others’ ideas.

The starters broadly address the following themes:
personal information : family & routines at home : hobbies & free time : likes & dislikes : local environment : food & drink : school & studies : sport & healthy living : countries & languages : weather & seasons

The Lively Learning Classroom offers a wide range of French resources, including special offer bundles and freebies.
