I'm a German and French teacher in an independent secondary school in Edinburgh. I have taught the Scottish system but also IGCSEs, IB and A-Levels. I have used the Conti method in the past but have recently been exploring TPRS and CI methods, which I have found to be much more fun and stimulating for me and for the pupils.

French Mosaic Writing: My idol and films/TV

This is a resource for S3/Y8/Y9 French to practise reading and writing about ‘La personne que j’admire’ (Studio AQA Textbook) and films and TV. It can of course be adapted to suit the phrases you want them to practise. I will use it with mini-whiteboards and as a basis for preparing for a writing test. Credit to Gianfranco Conti for the mosaic writing: his CPD and blog are where I got the idea.

This powerpoint introduces the perfect tense, based on Echo 2. It was made following a CPD course I attended by Gianfranco Conti, and is intended for use with his style of mini-whiteboard listening and reading comprehension exercises for phonics and vocab introduction. The following slides then draw pupils’ attention to the language patterns and can be completed orally or in writing.

YouTube video listening comprehension leading to a ranking activity for speaking. This worked very well with my Year 12 French class. It gave them lots of reasons to encourage people to do sport and it also led to some useful discussions about word families: la perte / perdre, for example.

La télé / television: QR codes listening exercise

Listening activity requiring use of iPads or smartphones. Each of the QR codes in this document links to me talking about a TV programme. Stick the QR codes separately around the room. Students must scan the code using a QR code scanner app on their phone or on an iPad, which will then link to the website containing the audio file. Students must listen to each soundbite (encourage them to use headphones) and complete the gap-fill. This works excellently when students work in pairs. Collaborative, independent listening! A winner.
