Studying a language opens windows into other cultures and different ways of viewing the world. It also enhances intercultural understanding. Through many years of teaching MFL (French and Spanish), I have carefully designed and structured each sequence of lessons, to have maximum impact on our students in the classroom. Each lesson builds on the last, moving from receptive to productive language. All resources are complete lessons, fully animated, with answers.

Anicca – everything is impermanent and in a constant state of flux. Examples: ageing, declining health, growing bored with things over time.

The content is designed to flood students with new language from a sentence builder (included in this pack), starting with receptive exposure to the phrases, and finishing with productive writing and speaking skills.
All of the tasks have been tried and tested over the last few years following the Conti method - a communicative language teaching approach developed by Gianfranco Conti: ‘extensive processing instruction’ (EPI) is based on the idea that language teachers should ‘teach less, not more’ by providing their students with a set of language ‘chunks’, drilling these, and finally pushing students to reproduce them. Given its emphasis on reducing cognitive overload, this method is likely to succeed in allowing students to feel like competent learners.
Two lessons covering GCSE Studio French Module 2 Unit 1 Lessons with sentence builders and fully animated answers.
There are two lessons per unit with plenty of content to last two hours per unit or more.
All resources have been carefully checked, and are made in-house, separately to the textbook, giving you more activities to use in your teaching.
The sentence builders are based on the vocabulary for Foundation and Higher Module 2 Units, and are organised to help learners build fluency quickly.
There are grammar explanations and practices linked to the textbook grammar.
