This is a PowerPoint template for a 20 minute introductory session for the first lesson in September. It includes: a slide to introduce yourself a quick tonguetwister a slide for you to fill in the lesson objectives a slide for you to fill in why you love languages, a slide with the Nelson Mandela quotation: ‘If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his own language, that goes to his heart.’ Then the students discuss the questions: What percentage of the world’s population speak English as a first language? What percentage of the world’s population do not speak any English? You talk through the answers and watch 2 short fun Youtube links. Then there is a slide for you to add in your expectations (examples given). Finally there are 2 motivational slides: Intelligence is not fixed or unchanging. We can build intelligence. You have power over your perception of the world. Replace “it’s a problem” with “it’s an opportunity”. When we believe in our abilities we can accomplish great things. Take risks! Stay curious! Inspire others.

Battleships Expressions: Pour aller aux magasins ? Pour aller au musée? Pour aller à la poste ? Pour aller au syndicat d’initiative ? Pour aller à la librairie ? Pour aller à l’hôtel de ville ? Vous allez tout droit. Vous tournez à gauche. Vous tournez à droite. Prenez le bus numéro 15. Traversez les feux et le pont. Prenez la première rue à droite. Prenez la deuxième rue à gauche. Battleships Game Firstly I ask the students to work independently in pairs to translate the expressions and discuss the pronunciation. I then check the translations and drill pronunciation with the whole class before they play the game. The students secretly choose 5 squares on the top grid and then try to guess which 5 squares their partner has chosen, filling in the bottom grid with “hit” and “miss.” To choose a square say a phrase from the horizontal line and complete the sentence with a phrase from the vertical line. Where the 2 phrases meet up is the square you have chosen. I use the English language sheet to further challenge the students: they should place this on top of the French version and then try to play the game saying the French phrases as far as possible from memory. I allow the really weak students to have the French version next to the English version so they have lots of support, stronger students are allowed a few “sneaky peaks” at the French version and the really strong students aim to refer back to the French version as little as possible. This really helps the students to memorise the vocabulary/structures! During the game I circulate the classroom checking pronunciation. Enjoy! French - English Cards: Prepositions, Directions & Places. Expressions: Continuez jusqu’au carrefour. C’est tout près d’ici. L’arrêt de bus se trouve en face de la gare routière. La patinoire est devant le commissariat. Le syndicat d’initiative est à coté de la pharmacie. L’hôtel de ville est devant la boulangerie. Le stade est entre l’église et la piscine. La bibliothèque est au bout de la rue. Le café est à gauche de la librairie. Au coin de la rue il y a une charcuterie. You may choose to have different levels of challenge. For example, Level 1 = match the cards and discuss the pronunciation. Level 2 = match the cards , discuss the pronunciation and then have quick fire questions from French to English. Level 3 = As Level 2 but questions from English to French. Then play pelmenism/ slap the card.

These resources are designed to give the students a taste of the thrilling Le Mans ambience and an appreciation of the prestige, dangers and challenges of the event! It uses exciting YouTube clips, colourful slides, matching cards, a video worksheet and a poem/writing template to imagine being a driver in Le Mans. A great end of term lesson! Slide 2 states the objective: Objectif: To learn facts and vocabulary related to Les 24 heures du Mans. All: Will learn 7 new facts and French words. Most: Will learn 9 new facts and French words/ phrases. Some: Will learn 10+ new facts and French words/ phrases. Slide 3 is the warmer and lesson hook. It asks : Qu’est-ce que c’est Les 24 Heures du Mans? There is then a link to the fantastic 1 mins 25 sec trailer for The Journey to Le Mans. The students can then share facts and French vocabulary which they already know. The students then match 9 x English- French cards with facts about Le Mans e.g. Les 24 Heures du Mans sont une course automobile d'une durée de 24 heures. Le Mans est dans le département de la Sarthe en France. La première course s’est déroulée en 1923. Elle est une des courses les plus prestigieuses au monde. Slides 5-11 allow you to run through the information on the cards and elicit the English. Slide 12 links to the worksheet in the resources. The students match French-English vocabulary: 1. Un mécanicien 2. Le podium 3. Un accident 4. Un casque 5. Le coucher du soleil 6. Le lever du soleil 7. Le drapeau à damier 8. Une voiture hybride 9. Un pneu 10. La nuit They then watch the Michelin 2015 Le Mans Highlights (3 minutes 14 secs), ticking the vocabulary they see (I’ve added a couple of additional words to the worksheet). The extension task is to list other things they see. Slide 14 is to be used with the (more detailed) support sheet. It sets out the final creative task: All: You are a Le Mans racing driver! Write a poem/ account of your 24 hours at Le Mans! You may wish to use the suggested template below: Il est 14h59. J’attends. Je suis prêt/ prête. Je suis calme. (time + verb + adjective) Il est 15h00. Le Tricolore! On commence! Je suis confiant/ confiante. Je suis fier/ fière. Il est 22h00. Le coucher du soleil….. Most: Build in negatives e.g. je ne dors pas. Some: Build in: adverbs e.g. parfois and toujours… connectives e.g. et, mais, cependant… other tenses e.g. je voudrais + infinitive. The final slide then gives the opportunity for reflection. I hope you enjoy using these resources!

This PowerPoint presents the following vocabulary: Un billet (un aller-simple/ un aller-retour) Guichet Sortie de secours Renseignements Consigne Objets trouvés Buffet Un composteur Départs Salle d’attente Le quai The first slide encourages the students to actively engage with the new vocabulary: working in teams, using their prior knowledge, knowledge of other languages and using a process of elimination to figure out the meanings. They then discuss the pronunciation and question each other before the teacher checks with the whole class. The next slides have the vocabulary and a picture. Use this to elicit the pronunciation, the English and to drill. The next section of slides have multiple choice questions. The final slide has pictures of all the phrases. This can be used for a Beat the Teacher game, which the students love! The teacher points to a picture and says a word. If it is the correct word the students all repeat it. If its the wrong word the students must stay absolutely silent. If they do, they win 1 point. If not, the teacher gets 1 point. Most points wins!

This is a pack of 14 PowerPoint slides of Spanish Tongue-twisters. I use these as a quick warmer activity at the beginning of lessons. I elicit the meaning and pronunciation of the words and then drill the students, gradually building up until we can say the whole tongue-twister. I challenge the students to say the tongue-twister 3 times in row as fast as they can and then ask for volunteers or choose individual students to say the tongue-twisters followed by praise and possibly awarding a house point! This is a great warm up activity that students of all ages love!

The teacher should use this to elicit the meaning in English and drill the pronunciation. There is then a "beat the teacher" game to revise the learning at the end or during the following lesson. Beat the teacher is played like this: The teacher points to a picture and says a word. If it is the correct word the students all repeat it. If its the wrong word the students must stay absolutely silent. If they do, they win 1 point. If not, the teacher gets 1 point. Most points wins!

Use the PowerPoint in conjunction with the Matching Cards to elicit the rules for forming plurals in French. Expressions on cards: Une main Deux mains Un nez Deux nez Un cheveu Des cheveux Un animal Six animaux Un gâteau Des gâteaux Un genou Trois genoux Un œil Les yeux I use the first slide to elicit some imaginative plural translations, but you may wish to skip this. Slide 2 asks: Match the singular and plural cards. ALL: How do you make most nouns plural? MOST: How do you make nouns that end in the following letters plural? -z -eu -al -eau -ou SOME: Which noun is completely irregular and doesn’t follow ANY rules? Extension: Make up a song/ poem/performance to help people remember these rules. Slides 3 and 4 check the answers and slide 5 summarises the rules (this can be printed out and stuck into books).

This is a fun way to introduce the holiday topic or to revise vocabulary. I have taken the end part of the Mr Bean's Holiday film where Mr Bean walks around the beach to the sound of La Mer by Charles Trenet. The YouTube link is on the sheet. The students have to watch the extract and tick the things they see from the following list: un palmier une caravane un embouteillage un auberge de jeunesse un hôtel une mobylette il pleut des planches de surf un parasol un transat des lunettes de soleil un terrain de pétanque un seau un requin la mer un pédalo des pistes cyclables des bateaux des serviettes de bain un terrain de golf un ballon de plage \une glace le volleyball un maillot de bain I show the extract twice and whilst most students check their answers the stronger students can then try to unjumble the song lyrics. Enjoy!

I use these cards to elicit and revise the word order of object pronouns with verbs. I differentiate as follows: All: Working in pairs match, then elicit where pronouns go in relation to the verbs. Most : As above and order the pronouns into 5 columns, Some: As above and question each other English to French and French to English. Expressions: Le secrétaire les leur a envoyés Ils m’y ont vu. Je vous en enverrai La librairie va me l’envoyer demain Est-ce que je pourrais t’y accompager? J’espère les y retrouver. Je le lui ai dit! Il m'en a parlé plusieurs fois. Me, te, se, nous, vous, se Le, la, les Lui, leur y en Following checking there are 2 fun games to play, either pelmenism or a game I learnt in Japan called Karuta. In Karuta the students put the English language cards to one side and spread out the French cards in front of them. I then say the English and the students compete to touch the correct French card first. Whoever touches it first wins the card. The student with the most cards at the end of the game wins. The students love this game!
