This ppt is for an activity I conducted with our soon-to-be year 7s on their transistion visit. It's a facilitated activity that encourages the pupils to (i) share their perceptions of the benefits of learning a language (ii) think about how learning a language will devlop their generic thinking and learning abilities (iii) reflect on how an MFL lesson, which they have just had, has fostered generic thinking and learning skills. It could be used with Year 7s at the start of their MFL career.

Interactive drag and drop exercise, practising French Easter vocabulary. The file will present a different selection of ten items each time it is opened and will shuffle the order of the items each time too. Will work on PC or IW.
Interactive multiple-choice revision exercise. The file will display a different selection of 35 words each time it is opened and will also shuffle the multi-choice answers each time it is opened. So, it can be used repeatedly without being quite the same each time you use it. If you have computer room available, each pupil can, in effect, be doing a different exercise.
