A 94 page booklet of writing questions and sample answers for the new GCSE French AQA spec (2026 exams onwards). Ideal as a course booklet, cover work, mock exams, end of unit assessments, revision resource and homework.
The questions in this booklet are designed to help teachers and heads of department with their teaching and assessment of the AQA GCSE French 2026 specification. Questions have been designed to be reflective of those found within the specimen papers and are intended to have multiple uses for teachers:
• For use within normal classroom practice so that pupils have plenty of opportunities to see, understand and practise questions that are reflective of those they will see in their exams. This could be as part of a lesson, revision activities or a homework task.
• For use as part of practice or mock examination papers.
Please note that the answers provided are sample answers only and are not definitive. They are intended to show pupils what an answer should look like.
There are 7 sections to represent each of the 7 questions across the higher and foundation tier papers. Each section has a question (and answer) for each topic covered in all three themes as per the AQA specification.
The questions are on pages 4-38 and the answers from pages 39 onwards.
I have taken every effort to ensure that there are no errors across the 94 pages. I have left the document as a word file so that you can copy and adapt questions for your own practice examinations etc or even adapt the sample answers to be more reflective of phrases you use in your own classroom.
