This resource is based on speaking card G from AQA’s specimen speaking tests. I have transcribed the questions the examiner asks and left spaces underneath for students to write their own answers. After this, I plan to let the listen to the actual recording to see how they did in comparison to the candidate and get them to correct any mistakes in the transcript.

A very self-explanatory worksheet useful for cover lessons in Spanish. It is loosely based on pages 104 and 105 of Viva 1, second edition on the topic of “What is there in your city?” ¿Qué hay en tu ciudad? Answers can be completed in exercise books or on lined paper (to make them last longer!). There are some exercises which use words and phrases not in Viva, but they are easily guessable, or pupils can use a dictionary. Answers and translations are also provided for non-specialist cover teachers.

This is a lesson I made as part of the "Overcoming the Monster" topic where students had to eventually write their own monster story. It focusses on how to write an epic battle/final showdown section and also on the more general theme of how to use language to improve writing i.e. using powerful verbs, adjectives, similes, metaphors etc. I have based it on a section near the end of "Stormbreaker" when Alex battles the jelly fish. The resource includes a PP and the extract from the book which you/pupils can read out or you can use the audio book which are available on YouTube.

This is a lesson based on the French Halloween Song "La chanson des squelettes" on Youtube. It comes with PowerPoint and 3 different worksheets, gradually getting more challenging. I have used this with Year 7 mixed ability, but would be good for any KS3 classes. It also fits in quite well with the topics of daily routine and time and also the grammar point of present tense (3rd person plural) - it's good to illustrate the pronunciation (or lack of!) of verbs ending in -ent.

Vocab match up activities for all of the main reading texts in the Kerboodle A level year 1 book for chapter 1 (Familie im Wandel). Answers included too.

This is a document I used to help students write about our recent trip to the Rhineland, although it could be adapted for other areas. It could either be used while on the trip to help students write a diary entry each evening, or after the trip. I get them to choose one of the days which they then write up on a post card to send home.

A catchy song about protecting the environment. Worksheet with gaps. My Y11s loved it! Link at the bottom of the worksheet.

This is the 3rd in a series of lessons I wrote with a skills rather than a topic based focus for Y8 beginners.

This is the first in a series of lessons which I wrote for a skills (rather than topics) based scheme of work. It covers basic greetings and numbers up to 10 but the main focus is on setting up the class with the skills to work out things for themselves. The focus for this lesson is pronunciation. These lessons can be used alongside Echo/Echo Express 1. (They would probably also go with any beginners course). The lessons were originally written for set 1/2 year 8 beginners but could be adapted for year 7 mixed ability learners.
