I've just finished my Secondary PGCE in MFL in June 2019, so many of my resources will be put on to aid those who were in the same position as me! Hopefully in time, my resources will be catered to all! I hope to be useful for all those with many years of experience and inspire future teachers!

This resource is designed to enable students to use their knowledge of holiday vocabulary and related grammatical structures to piece together five correct sentences in each section. The completed sentences will give them some models, often using tenses other than the present, to use in their own independent writing.
The sentences are quite complex, and this may be an activity to complete in pairs. Students work from left to right, picking one word/phrase from each column each time to complete the sentence.
Suggested answers included.
Introduce or reinforce the near future tense in French and leisure time vocabulary, with this PowerPoint resource. It includes battleships games for paired speaking practice as well as a writing task.

Start with the matchcards to introduce the vocabulary needed to describe schools. The worksheet supports students in writing their own short descriptions of their current school and their primary school.
Teaching notes are here below:
Copy the vocabulary on page one onto card and cut up the word cards so that each small group of students will have one set. It helps to use a different colour card for each copy made so that the word cards can’t get mixed up between groups.
Starter and plenary activities
Put the vocabulary cards out on the desks for students to start matching as soon as they arrive. As each group finishes you can quickly check their cards and then move them on to any of the following extension activities:
Turn all the English cards face down – how many of the meanings can you remember? Turn them over to check.
Turn all the Spanish cards face down – how many can you remember by just looking at the English?
Pelmanism memory game – mix up all the cards, turn them face down and take turns to choose two cards. If the cards match, keep them as a pair and have another turn. If not, it’s your partner’s turn to try and find a pair.
At the end of the lesson, students could revisit the activities above, perhaps racing against the clock this time to see who can match the cards the fastest. Students can also quiz each other on the English/Spanish phrases to see who can recall the most words.
Worksheet
Hand out copies of the worksheet on page two for students to complete the grid with the English meanings (you can allow them to use the paired vocabulary cards on their desks for reference if support is needed). Page one can be projected for them to check their answers.
Students can then complete the writing tasks A-D.
Answer for A

Answer for B
In my school there are many buildings but the school is old-fashioned. It is lacking a big canteen and I would like some modern sports pitches.
