Hints, tips and tricks on how to ace the new EDEXCEL GCSE MFL speaking exam! Covering the Role Play, Picture description and conversation

I created this PowerPoint so that my department could go through the key elements during the first week back with Yr 10 to introduce the course and the new GCSE Edexcel requirements.

An assessment model for all years based on the new Edexcel draft specification and materials. It is in the same format as silviaroberts AQA model for easy comparison. Speaking model also uploaded. I would welcome any feedback.

20 Grammar-based tasks with answers to practise the final grammar cloze test in the Edexcel Pearson German International GCSE Reading and Writing Paper 2. The twenty tasks are based around the topics of the IGCSE and there are varied levels of difficulty. Each task contains a passage in German with ten missing verbs and adjectives, which the pupils must put into the correct form to complete the passage. The passages and answer format are structured exactly as the task appears in the IGCSE. The tasks would also be good practice or revision for Year 12 students.

This pack contains my revision work for IGCSE German which helped me to attain a grade 9 in 2019. They include model answers to about 15 common questions per topic that could come up in either the writing or speaking parts of the exam. Moreover there is a document containing key idiomatic expressions to help raise your German to a higher level, alongside a document which summarises most of the key grammar needed at IGCSE.

A new set of IGCSE speaking questions, based on the Edexcel specification topic areas, broken down into sub-sections. Extension (or possibly challenge) questions are highlighted in red, and a range of tenses covered, as well as the ‘warum ist es wichtig, dass…’ type questions.

A speaking booklet based on the questions in the back of the Stimmt Edexcel booklet - although I've changed a couple of the sillier questions. Includes the Edexcel mark scheme. Apologies if there are any spelling mistakes.

A marksheet to record coursework of your classes. You only need to add their name, first name, form, predicted grade or anything you might want to add for info... then everytime you complete a coursework, enter their mark in the column "Mark /20", a grade will appear and the total column will also fill itself up. Once the final grade is a C it turns green, B yellow and A or A* orange. Very good visual for students and yourself to track down where your students are working at. Any queswtions, please don't hesitate to leave your comments!

This is a ppt and game to practice describing a picture as per the Edexcel Foundation Written paper and as an introduction to the speaking. It is written for Year 9 who are starting a 3 year GCSE.

This is a whole lesson based on Edexcel textbook which I used for a fab observation. Pupils are doing first a differentiated reading activity aimed at eliciting key vocab about family structures (verheiratet, geschieden, getrennt, elleinerziehende Mutter etc...). Then it consolidates use of the subordinating conjunctions/ verb scarers. Moreover, it has a very funny Gedaechtnisspiel which the kids love and makes them speak in the target language. Hope you like it!

Ideal for cover, homework, revision, catch-up, class work, this resource contains an 11-page work book, cue cards with all relevant photographs, a small vocab grid for differentiation, a 13-slide Presentation and 2 pages of suggestions for use and differentiation. The work book takes learners through a simple explanation of how to work towards writing 20-30 words, including giving that one important opinion, about a photograph before 'letting them loose' on 10 further photographs. Example: Use the slides for whole class presentation/starter/plenary, the cue cards for all kinds of group/pair work and the vocab grids for differentiation. Suggestions for use and differentiation are included separately. If you like this resource, please leave me a review and check out my other resources. Look out for my bundles which will save you time and money for even more learning opportunities. Out of fairness to me and to reflect the time I spent designing this resource, please be sure to purchase a school license if you intend to share it with colleagues anywhere. Thank you. ©MosaiK

A-Level: 4 paragraphs on multicultural issues for translation from German into English. Each paragraph is on its own worksheet with space for translating. There are 4 worksheets with the paragraph at the top and a grid for translating below. Alternatively, 4 further worksheets enable students to translate each paragraph into a grid to the side of the printed French text. This makes it easier to concentrate on a short piece of writing at a time. Suggestions for use and some differentiation are also included. Please respect the amount of time it took to create the enclosed resource. Therefore please do not pass this to any colleagues anywhere. You may only share this in your school so long as you have also purchased the school licence for this resource. If you like this resource please leave me a review and come back later to find out what is new in my store at any time. Thank you. :) ©MosaiK

This pack contains 27 higher tier speaking photo cards, a list of numerous questions for each topic, a 56-page ‘prompt writing frame’ document with the same listed questions, as well as a presentation with 27 photo slides, cue cards, flash cards. The prompt frames will encourage students to write up keywords and phrases for later revision and should also come in handy when students play the paperclip game - all information and necessary question lists are included, you just need to provide a paper clip and dice. :) Ever wondered what to do with those large plastic brightly coloured paperclips from your Christmas crackers? I hope you kept them :) A document with suggestions for use and differentiation is also included and will take you through each activity in this pack. The numerous topic-based questions (for all 12 topics) will also help prepare students for the conversation part of their speaking exam. Please note that the pictures in both my Foundation Tier and Higher Tier packs are the same but the questions are different. If you and your students like this resource, please leave me a kind review and come back to find out what is new in my store at any time. Please bear in mind the amount of time it took me to write up and put together all of the enclosed. Therefore please be fair and do not share this resource with colleagues anywhere, unless you or your school have purchased the school license as well. Thank you. :) ©MosaiK

Document listing the unexpected questions that have appeared in Edexcel GCSE German role plays (not 2018 or 2019 as I’ve used those as mocks) and also the sample role plays from Edexcel. Covers both higher and foundation, lots of higher questions are repeated so that list is shorter. Also covers questions that the candidates have to ask for both tiers and has an exercise to help candidate to form question structures. English hints written in a German word order so they look a bit strange!

This resource aims at making students familiar with the kind of target language included in the speaking, listening, reading and writing papers of the new GCSE exam, which the first cohort will face in 2018. It is full of activities aimed at memorising the key words so that the pupils are able to decode the exam task, which is fundamental to allow the pupil to respond to the task appropriately.
