Bonjour, I have been a Fench and Spanish teacher for 22 years now, and I truly enjoy making engaging and colourful resources for my classes. I wanted to share some with you to save you time (we all know that teachers never get enough time!). Feel free to adapt and change anything to your taste and teaching style.

Complete GCSE core grammar / translation practice materials.
-5x powerpoints: one per GCSE theme (who am I / culture / daily routine / local area / tourism). Slides explore key grammar rules / structures, followed by texts to translate, final slides offer sentences to translate both way, with targeted key structures.
-5x handouts: targeted texts to translate.
-I designed these to help my Year 10 and 11 review complex structures/ grammar rules and encourage pair-share (progressive learning when powerpoints are used slide by slide).
-Powerpoint with explanation, cards and prompts to spark speaking or writing (pair-work competition).
-Cards to be printed, laminated and separated in envelopes: 4 different sections with 12 expressions (time phrases, verbs, connectives, adjectives).
-Prompts: 13 slides with a different theme, to prompt pupils to write or say a sentence, using all 4 words picked from each category (verbs must be conjugated correctly, depending on the time phrase picked).
-Great pair-work activity, pupils compete against each other and must justify why their sentence is better than their partner (accuracy, length, additional details…).
-You could make it a timed competition.
-The idea comes from a CPD that I went to, I then designed my own activity around this idea.
-My pupils enjoy having a break from their computers and it encourages kinesthetic learning, as well as writing / speaking in a spontaneous way.
-Powerpoint A Level: slides for each theme, with 4 blank squares to annotate key expressions (to support specific vocabulary, verbs and facts).
-Powerpoint IGCSE: slides for each of the Edexcel IGCSE themes, 2 slides with key translations in both languages to retrieve key concepts, followed by 1 slide to add personal notes.
-Powerpoint KS3: slides with blank sections to add any specific words, verbs, adjectives from a particular module.
-Powerpoint: slides with A Level speaking grade criteria for task 1 (simplified)
-Great for peer-assessment feedback (can be printed on card).
-I use this online or printed out to allow students to listen to each other and be critical about the performance.
-19 Powerpoints, 1 per sub-unit (i.e. 1A / 1B / 1C…)
-Each Powerpoint has several pictures with questions to spark conversation and photo description (questions vary between several tenses).
-Each slide follows a double page content from the Pearson iGCSE book.
-I made these to use as starters or plenary for my iGCSE class, and my pupils enjoy the freedom to talk openly about a topic.
-It can be used as speaking or writing prompts (for homework, for example).
-x1 Powerpoint with several slides, exploring many ways to debate on a topic.
-It can be amended for any debate title.
-Each slide has a different bank of expressions (from basic to much harder).
-I use these with my Year 9 classes onwards, and they love arguing their side.
-Great way to reinforce some core structures!
