Please read the Terms of Use.*** ***200 French Speaking & Writing Prompts, suitable for Higher GCSE & beginner ALevel French students*** ***Speaking and writing*** are language skills that learners tend to find very challenging, and increased engagement with language that requires them to both reproduce language they are already familiar with, and to be creative with that language in order to produce new language is really beneficial. The ***questions are differentiated**,* addressing a broad range of ability, which aim to progress all learners. ***Tenses include present, future, near future, perfect and conditional***. Question formats are likewise 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. The prompts are really versatile too, specifically with a focus on speaking and writing. ***Speaking***: As a whole-group activity, distribute the cards among 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, refreshers after vacation, prep for both new phase learning, for example intermediate to advanced intermediate, and even advanced intermediate to advanced, as well as exams. They’re great as both entrance and exit tickets, and also for five-minute refreshers, which I use quite frequently during the school year. Frequent and regular engagement with language is absolutely key to successful language learning. ***Writing***: The cards work best in pair or small-group work, where learners have access to reference resources, such as bilingual dictionaries and the internet. The latter will enable them to prepare detailed responses to questions which address general knowledge, rather than their own life. They can then transfer this knowledge to their spoken work. There’s also a 2-pate prompts master list. ***The prompts broadly address the following themes***: college life & study; future plans; information technology; where I live; social & environmental issues; France & travel; social activity & daily life ***Try this free sampler:*** **GCSE FRENCH ALEVEL SPEAKING & WRITING PROMPTS : 10 PROMPT CARDS** [https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/-12537447](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 !**
