Speaking is a language skill that learners tend to find very challenging, regardless of level, and increased engagement with language that requires them to both reproduce accurately language they are already familiar with, and to be creative with that language in order to produce new language is integral to successful language learning.
The questions feature a range of tenses, such as the present tense, perfect tense, conditional tense, and si + imperfect + conditional clause. There is also a significant amount of implicit input on a range of grammatical concepts, such as agreement with preceding direct object, use of the subjunctive and so on.
I include tenses we may not have formally covered, and a broad range of language, regardless of student learning level, as the activity is not solely about practising language, but also about actively learning it. I encourage students to look for cues and clues in the questions themselves, and this certainly enables them to engage with new or unknown language successfully, and to progress in their learning, which is equally important for all learners.
Questions formats are varied, to ensure maximum opportunity to work with the different ways to ask questions in French. Some questions seek to elicit very similar information, but are asked in different language: this avoids learners simply parroting learned responses to fixed prompts.

FRENCH CONVERSATION STARTERS BUNDLE #1
**GCSE FRENCH ALEVEL FRENCH ADVANCED FRENCH CONVERSATION STARTERS** ***two sets of 100 French conversation starters @ £2.50 each in the bundle*** ***Files are non-editable in a zipped format. The resource is copyright, all rights reserved. It may not be copied, rewritten, amended, shared or distributed outside your own classroom in any way. The license for purchase is a single-user license only. Please read the Terms of Use.*** ***Set 1 French Conversation starters*** features 100 starters in question format, suitable for ***advanced beginner French*** to ***intermediate French*** students. ***Set 2 French Conversation starters*** also features 100 starters in question format, suitable for ***intermediate French*** to ***advanced French*** students. Speaking is a language skill that learners tend to find very challenging, regardless of level, and ***increased engagement with language*** that requires them to both reproduce accurately language they are already familiar with, and to be creative with that language in order to produce new language is ***integral to successful language learning***. In ***Set 1***, the questions focus largely on the ***present tense***, with some examples of the ***present perfect tense***. I include tenses we may not have formally covered, as the activity is not solely about ***practising language***, but also about ***actively learning*** it. I encourage students to look for cues and clues in the questions themselves, and this certainly enables them to engage with new or unknown language successfully, and to progress in their learning. In ***Set 2***, the questions feature ***a range of tenses and moods***, such as the ***present tense***, ***present subjunctive***, ***perfect***, ***imperfect***, and ***conditional perfect***. There are several questions focusing on ***si + imperfect + conditional clauses***, and a significant amount of ***implicit input*** on a range of ***grammatical concepts***, such as ***agreement with preceding direct object***, use of the ***subjunctive*** and so on. I try to include as broad a range of language as I can in the questions, regardless of student learning level, to ***facilitate learner progress***. I encourage students to look for cues and clues in the questions themselves, and this certainly enables them to engage with new or unknown language successfully, and to ***progress in their learning***, which is just as important for more advanced learners. Questions formats are varied, to ensure maximum opportunity to work with the ***different ways to ask questions in French***. Some questions seek to elicit very similar information, but are asked in different language: this avoids learners simply parroting learned responses to fixed prompts. Each card has an image: some of these are specific visual prompts to help students infer meaning; some are more generic images. I do use images as much as possible with this kind of activity, not only to provide the prompt, but also to add to the visual appeal of it, which is a real ***motivator for learning***. I remind students that it is not necessary to tell the truth - the purpose is to ***create and produce accurate and realistic language***. Students can prepare their responses in as much detail as possible on the accompanying planning sheet, remembering that these are conversation starters, so that once they have responded, they should then say something to continue the conversation going. ***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. I definitely find it 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. As a whole-group activity, distribute the cards amongst your students, one or several. Ideally, they should walk around the classroom, asking questions, and swapping cards. For pair or small-group work, students can work in a designated area. This really helps them focus closely on the language, and helps learners who are slightly less confident working with a larger group. The cards work particularly well as ***ice-breakers*** at the beginning of the school year. They’re also great as both ***entrance and exit tickets***, and also for ***five-minute refreshers***, which I use quite frequently during the school year. In the preparation phase, having access to bilingual dictionaries and / or the internet, this can be really helpful. These tools can help them prepare detailed responses to questions in ways that do not necessarily always focus on their own life and experiences. ***The starters in Set 1 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 starters in Set 2 broadly address the following themes:*** * music, film & television literature & culture * personal life, information & preferences * leisure & free time * health & well-being * history & society * recent & current events * travel, tourism & holidays * technology & social media * likes & dislikes * local environment * environmental & social issues * education & studies ***Try this freebie to see if this kind of activity would work well for your students:*** **10 FRENCH CONVERSATION STARTERS FREEBIE** [https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/french-conversation-starters-freebie-12903468](http://) ***Have a browse in my store for more French independent learning activities, and a wide range of other French teaching and learning materials, with French resource boxes, special offer bundles, and lots of freebies - I've included a couple here for you to try.*** **MERCI BEAUCOUP ET BON APPRENTISSAGE !**

FRENCH CONJUGATION PRACTICE PRESENT PERFECT IMPERFECT TENSES
**GCSE FRENCH KS3 FRENCH KS4 FRENCH ALEVEL FRENCH CONJUGATION PRACTICE** ***3 tenses, 5 verb groups, 15 workbooks, 2,250 conjugations, answer keys and verb lists @ 65p each in the bundle*** Ideal for ***upper KS3 French*** students who are beginning to work with compound sentences and longer texts, and generally developing their knowledge and understanding of conjugation and tense in ***French*** through to ***KS4 French*** students who are regularly working with texts featuring a range of tenses, including authentic resources. The workbooks are really useful to ***A Level French*** students too, as a quick conjugation refresher as they begin their ***A Level French*** course. ***The tenses are:*** = present tense (le présent) = perfect tense (le passé composé) = imperfect tense (l'imparfait) ***The verb groups are:*** = regular French -ER verbs = French -RE verbs = French -IR & -OIR verbs = high-frequency French verbs = French reflexive verbs My students really like this kind of grammar activity, as they like to work and learn independently, which is a successful way of varying teaching and learning methodologies - I've found it's really important to avoid predominantly teacher-led learning in the languages classroom. I use these kinds of workbooks in lots of different ways: for practice during the introduction phase, for independent choice in class time, for home learning, for practice, reinforcing and revision during vacation and at return to class, and for individual activities during cover lessons - I move onto conjugation quite quickly in my language learning programmes, so that students can ***apply language practically and creatively***, which is ***essential for progressing in language learning***, as well as consolidating language and grammatical concepts. I tend to give my students regular opportunities to practice the conjugations during the whole school year, and they find this really useful for mapping their own progress and developing their overall understanding of how ***French conjugation*** 'works'. The workbooks focus on formation and conjugation, rather than usage, though it’s definitely useful to remind students of a number of things when focusing on or revising tense and verb formation and conjugation. Language learners do often try to conflate what they know about grammar in their first language, with that of the language they are learning. For example, with the ***imperfect tense in French***, students with ***English*** as a first language often use the construct ***j'étais travailler*** instead of ***je travaillais as a translation of I was working***. They may look for a direct equivalent of the notion of ***used to...***, before they grasp that the ***notion of used to... is implicit in the conjugation of the verb*** itself. There are specific differences in usage between ***English and French*** with this tense, and I do always discuss this with students about this when we’re using the workbooks - I tend to work fairly simultaneously with ***le passé composé and l'imparfait***, because students are then able to compare and contrast both formation and usage, which really helps them learn and understand correct forms and usage when they look at a range of past tense contexts together, for example ***I have worked, I worked, I was working, I used to work***. I refer frequently the difference in usage between ***English and French***, and this is important particularly when explaining when and in which contexts to use the ***imperfect tense in French***. Though the workbooks focus solely on the correct conjugation of verbs, and does not look at word order in the context of full sentences, there are ***conjugation patterns that students can learn, recognise and apply***, ensuring that their ***spoken and written French is accurate***, and that their understanding of ***French*** across the skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing is robust. Students become very familiar and confident the more they work with conjugation, and these quick conjugations certainly help to embed that successfully. ***Each set is structured as follows:*** ***Two alphabetical verb reference lists***: French-English and English-French. ***Three conjugation challenges***, each with 50 individual conjugations: ***Conjugation Challenge 1***: each verb conjugated in French across a range of pronouns, with students writing the corresponding English verb conjugation. ***Conjugation Challenge 2***: gives the infinitive of each verb in French, specifying the target pronoun. Students write the corresponding verb conjugation in French. ***Conjugation Challenge 3***: students write the corresponding French verb conjugation, and its infinitive, from an English prompt. ***Notes and Next Steps template*** which students visit regularly - it really does encourage them to think about where they are now, how confident they feel, and what they might need to work on a little more to be absolutely sure of their conjugation skills. We also note down any new verbs we meet, which enables students to build up their own verb vocabulary bank. It's a great tool to guide and inform whole-group discussion about learning and progress in general, which is a really successful and popular activity. ***answer key***: 6-page booklet which is absolutely essential in my view. Answer keys help students develop more independence in their learning, and provide them with an additional opportunity to engage with language and grammar. They also genuinely enjoy correcting their own - and particularly each others' - work. ***Have a look at this French quick conjugation workbook sampler to see if this kind of workbook will work well with your students:*** **FRENCH CONJUGATION PRACTICE SAMPLER** [https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/french-verbs-conjugation-practice-sampler-12307809](http://) ***Have a browse in my store for more French grammar activities, with a wide range of French language teaching and learning materials, with dollar deals, special offer bundles, and lots of freebies too - I've added a couple here for you to try.*** *All files are non-editable files in a zipped format.

FRENCH NUMBERS 0-100 MINI-BUNDLE
**KS3 FRENCH KS4 FRENCH GCSE FRENCH NUMBERS 0-100** ***French Numbers 0-100 Challenge Cards & French Numbers 0-100 Word Searches @ £2.00 each in the mini-bundle*** ***Files are non-editable in a zipped format. The product is copyright, all rights reserved. It may not be copied, rewritten, shared or distributed outside your own in any way. The license for purchase is a single-user licence only. Please read the Terms of Use.*** ***French Numbers 0-100 Challenge Cards*** really do help to create a lively language learning environment. Students can develop, embed, reinforce and refresh their knowledge of ***French numbers*** in a cooperative, communicative and interactive way, independently of the teacher. They have a ***bonus multi-skill focus on listening, speaking, pronunciation, reading and spelling***. They’re great for helping students familiarise themselves with, and develop competence in, speaking, reading, writing and spelling longer words in ***French***. The ***translation questions*** are a great way of introducing ***beginner French*** learners to the ***concept of translation*** too. The cards are useful not only when you’re focusing on***French Numbers 0-100***, but also for cover lessons, as an all-year-round starter, plenary and general ‘pick-me-up’ activity, as the goal is not simply to learn how to count in ***French***, but also to enjoy working with ***French***, and to feel confident about doing so. All questions are in ***French***, and ***range in complexity and challenge***, both in terms of language and number skills. I've used visual prompts such as maths symbols to ensure all learners can engage with the questions, and this helps them to begin to infer meaning from context, and to decode cues and prompts to foster understanding. I don't allow the use of calculators to increase the challenge a little. Some questions focus specifically on ***French maths language***, which students do not always engage with very often. The question card template enables students to apply their knowledge of language and arithmetic creatively and practically, which is ***integral to successful language learning***. My students also genuinely enjoy creating questions for each other. ***The set comprises the following non-editable files:*** ***48 differentiated question cards***, 6 per A4 (8.5 x 11) paper. Laminate if possible - it's definitely worth the extra prep time and expense, as they're far more learner-friendly and last for absolutely years. ***2-page answer recording sheet***, best printed double-sided. I use recording sheets for more formal assessment purposes. My students all have class workbooks, and they use those to work out their answers, and to note them down, saving both prep time and paper. ***2-page answer key***, again best printed double-sided, and laminated if you can. One answer key for each small group is sufficient. Answer keys are essential in my view - they encourage students to develop more independence in their learning, and offer students an additional opportunity to engage with language. ***French Numbers 0-100 Word Searches*** Word searches are a fabulous way of encouraging learners to engage with the written word, practicing and reinforcing language as they complete the grids. This set features ten differentiated word searches, focusing on ***French Numbers 0-100***, with each consecutive grid increasing in challenge. The searches offer a really useful learning opportunity - enabling learners to engage with the target vocabulary, but also aligning with cross-curricular learning - working on reading, writing, spelling, numeracy and ***French language skills*** in general. Learners are able to identify which direction words are located in within the grid by referring to the arrow key. As they move through the grids, their language skills are challenged in a range of ways - from straightforward vocabulary searching, to gap-fill, scrambled letters and more complex questions, which feature ***mathematical language in French***. Hyphens are important in ***French numbers***, and the grids feature these quite clearly, in order to ensure that learners can practise this aspect of language. There is an ***answer grid*** for each word search, so that learners can check their answers - or use for a little extra help if they need it. For me, answer keys are essential, as they not only provide learners with another opportunity to engage with language, but they also help them develop more independence in their learning. They’re also a great teacher time-saver - a real bonus! There is a single word search per page, portrait format. I like to ensure that text is accessible to all learners - and at this stage of their learning, it’s absolutely essential that language looks accessible and manageable. Word searches are really versatile too - I have folders of a range of vocabulary / theme word searches ready in folders - we can just pick them up and they’re good to go - for cover lessons, as starters, refreshers, plenaries or fun-time fillers at any time during the school year, as well as when there’s a particular focus on number recall and spelling. I also sometimes copy all the grids as a workbook, and let learners simply work their way through. The workbook format is great for home learning too. There are two formats to choose from - the search grids and answer keys as separate worksheets, and also a file with both grids and answer keys together, so that you can print each grid and key double-sided, according to which suits your classroom needs better. ***Have a browse in my store for more French independent learning activities, and a wide range of other French teaching and learning materials, with French resource boxes, special offer bundles, and lots of freebies - I've included a couple here for you to try.*** **MERCI BEAUCOUP ET BON APPRENTISSAGE !**

(o’clock/half past) =Les adjectifs =La nourriture et les boissons =Verbes français =En ville =Mots fréquents =Le français pour la salle de classe =Bavardons ensemble ! Conversation =Questions et réponses My students really like to work independently, in pairs and in small groups, and these vocabulary cards enable them to do that. There are lots of games and activities to play, and I’ve described several that are successful with my groups. I’ve found that giving students regular and frequent opportunities to play with the cards, not only when we’re focusing on these particular vocab groups, but across the school year, and even when they’re far more advanced in their learning - all learners benefit from going back to the start! There’s definitely some prep involved - printing, laminating and cutting out - laminating is certainly worth the effort, as the cards are a lot more learner-friendly, and do last for years. Students don’t have to play with full sets - they can work with selected vocab groups. There is an ***18-page workbook for each set***, which gives students a different way of consolidating their vocabulary - writing it out really helps to embed language, and is great for spelling too. There are ***3 differentiated recall and write challenges***, as well as a full ***alphabetical French-English vocabulary list***, which works well as a longer-term reference resource too. My students learn a lot from applying their French practically with the game card templates - they enjoy creating cards for each other. I use the workbook for homework, holiday work, practice and revision or cover lessons - they’re really versatile. ***Written Recall Challenge One:*** students write the English word / phrase from a French prompt, with all the words and phrases grouped together in the same category ***Written Recall Challenge Two:*** with this challenge, students write the words / phrases in French from an English prompt, and again, they’re all group together in the same category ***Written Recall Challenge Three:*** this final challenge ‘switches’ at each question from French to English, and lists words and phrases randomly from each category - I’ve found that this really does encourage my students to think hard about their French vocab. ***Have a browse in my store for more French independent learning activities, and a wide range of other French teaching and learning resources, with French resource boxes, special offer bundles, and lots of freebies - I've included a couple here for you to try.*** **MERCI BEAUCOUP ET BON APPRENTISSAGE !**

For example, language learners do often try to conflate what they know about grammar in their first language, and the language they are learning, and with students whose first language is ***English***, I frequently see students looking for a word that is the equivalent of ***would***, until they familiarise themselves with the fact that the ***notion of conditional is implicit in the verb itself***, indicated in the verb ending. It's also easy to confuse the ***simple future tense endings*** with the ***conditional tense endings***, and for that reason, I do tend to introduce these tenses fairly closely together. This means we can ***compare and contrast*** the tenses, both in terms of formation and usage, and targeted practice helps to address any confusion really well. Though the workbooks ***focus solely on the correct conjugation of verbs***, and does not look at word order in the context of full sentences, there are ***conjugation patterns that students can learn, recognise and apply***, ensuring that their ***spoken and written French*** is accurate, and that their understanding of ***French*** across the skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing is robust.

FRENCH RESOURCE BOX #2

It may not be copied, rewritten, shared or distributed outside your own classroom in any way, The license for purchase is a single-user license only. Please read the Terms of Use carefully.*** ***This French resource box is ideal for KS3 French, KS4 French and GCSE French revision***. There are 5 resources, each for £1, featuring ***active, differentiated, multi-skill and independent learning activities***. Some of the resources overlap learning stages, though I’ve found that students, regardless of ages, often benefit from, and genuinely enjoy, working with activities that are primarily designed for other ability or knowledge stages. This may be either as ***practice and revision***, or as ***additional or more accessible and manageable challenge***. These factors are all key to motivating learners to engage with, and progress in, a new language. There’s certainly prep work involved with some of the resources – I always laminate my language and challenge cards for example, as they’re much more easy to manipulate, and so far more learner-friendly. They do however last in excellent condition for years, so for me, laminating is definitely worth the prep time and extra expense. You don’t have to prepare them all at once – the resources are definitely useful for the longer-term, so you can take your time with the prep, focusing on what you’re working with at any specific stage. Over time, I’ve created activity folders with ready-made resources in, and give my students free-choice time – alone, in pairs or small groups. They decide what they’d like to work on for half an hour or so, and sometimes even a full lesson. We do this pretty regularly, as it’s great for keeping language fresh, and ideal for both ***consolidation and revision***. Additionally, and equally importantly, it helps students ***develop independent learning skills***, moving away from teacher-led learning, and ***gives them real insight into their own learning progress***. The workbooks, worksheets and word searches for example are good to go – simply print and photocopy. ***Resource 1*** ***100 French conversation starters*** This set of French conversation starters features ***100 starters in question format***, suitable for ***advanced beginner French*** students who are moving into ***intermediate French***.

The workbooks focus on the mechanics of conjugation, rather than usage, and I've found that when my students are able to provide the correct conjugation very quickly, and out of a specific context, they feel really confident that their conjugation skills are developing well. *The workbooks focus on formation and conjugation, rather than usage*, though it’s definitely useful to remind students of a number of things when focusing on or revising tense and verb formation and conjugation. Language learners tend to conflate what they know about grammar in their first language with the grammar of the language they are learning. For example, with the ***imperfect tense in French***, students with *English* as a first language frequently use the construct***j'étais faire instead of je faisais as a translation of I was doing***. They also tend to look for a direct equivalent of the notion of ***used to...***, before they embed the knowledge that this is ***implicit in the tense itself.*** There are specific differences in usage between ***English and French*** with this tense, and I do always discuss this with students about this when we’re using the workbooks - I tend to work fairly simultaneously with ***le passé composé and l'imparfait***, because students are better able to understand correct usage when they look at a range of past tense contexts together, for example ***I have done, I did, I was doing, I used to do***. I refer frequently the difference in usage between ***English and French***, and this is important particularly when explaining when and in which contexts to use the ***imperfect tense in French***. Though the workbooks focus solely on the correct conjugation of verbs, and does not look at word order in the context of full sentences, there are ***conjugation patterns*** that students can ***learn, recognise and apply***, ensuring that their ***spoken and written French*** is accurate, and that their understanding of ***French*** across the skills of l***istening, speaking, reading and writing*** is robust. Students become very familiar and confident the more they work with conjugation, and these quick conjugations certainly help to embed that successfully. ***The tenses are:*** present tense *(le présent)* simple future tense *(le futur simple)* near future tense *(le futur proche)* perfect tense *(le passé composé)* imperfect tense *(l'imparfait)* conditional tense *(le conditionnel)* ***Each set is structured as follows:*** *Two alphabetical verb reference lists*: French-English and English-French. *Three conjugation challenges*, each with 50 individual conjugations: ***Conjugation Challenge 1***: each verb conjugated in French across a range of pronouns, with students writing the corresponding English verb conjugation. ***Conjugation Challenge 2***: gives the infinitive of each verb in French, specifying the target pronoun. Students write the corresponding verb conjugation in French. ***Conjugation Challenge 3***: students write the corresponding French verb conjugation, and its infinitive, from an English prompt. *Notes and Next Steps* template which students visit regularly - it really does encourage them to think about where they are now, how confident they feel, and what they might need to work on a little more to be absolutely sure of their conjugation skills. We also note down any new verbs we meet, which enables students to build up their own verb vocabulary bank. It's a great tool to guide and inform whole-group discussion about learning and progress in general, which is a really successful and popular activity. *answer key*: 6-page booklet which is absolutely essential in my view. Answer keys help students develop more independence in their learning, and provide them with an additional opportunity to engage with language and grammar. They also genuinely enjoy correcting their own - and particularly each others' - work. ***Currently in my store I have quick conjugation workbooks for each of these verbs groups across the following tenses:*** present tense *(le présent)* simple future tense *(le futur simple)* near future tense *(le futur proche)* perfect tense *(le passé composé)* imperfect tense *(l'imparfait)* conditional tense *(le conditionnel)* pluperfect tense *(le plus-que-parfait)* future perfect tense *(le futur antérieur)* conditional perfect tense *(le conditionnel passé)* ***Have a browse in my store for more French grammar activities, with a wide range of French language teaching and learning materials, with special offer bundles and lots of freebies too - I've included a selection here.*** **MERCI BEAUCOUP ET BONNE CONJUGAISON !**
