    French GCSE Speaking and Writing Handout with 39 ‘Ingredients’, Examples and Translations

    February 13, 2019

    Useful French GCSE Speaking and Writing Phrases for Grades 4-9 Sometimes I wonder if we give students too many handouts. Especially when I consider how often they look at them. Or on the other side of the scale, how reliant students can become on using handouts to produce their ‘own’ work. For these reasons, I am reluctant to give out so many handouts in my lessons.

Je me présente!

Hi! I’m Sabina, an insanely passionate ESOL and MFL teacher with 10 years teaching experience in private, online, secondary and further education settings. At the moment, I am teaching English to adults in a college environment, as well as French and German at secondary level.

To no extent am I ‘The Ideal Teacher’ since I am definitely a ‘work in progress’, when it comes to teaching . However, I stand by the philosophy of teach・reflect・discuss・learn・create・repeat in order to strive towards becoming a better teacher.

This is a space to share my own French and German KS3, GCSE and A Level resources (including links to handouts, worksheets and PowerPoints), as well as my English language teaching resources.  I will also add reflections, events during the school/college day, things that make me smile and knowledge that I have acquired from others to help me meet my aim of becoming The Ideal Teacher…one day!
