  • Les rรฉseaux sociaux – French GCSE Listening Lesson

    GCSE French Listening Lesson on Social Media and Social Networks Social media andย ‘les rรฉseaux sociaux’ are a staple part of most young peoples’ lives in the 21st century. Therefore, I feel they are excellent themes to include in French GCSE exams. However, as normal, I can’t find any great resources that don’t cost a bomb to help to practise listening skills on the topic. So, I decided to create this lesson on social media for GCSE French lessons. I believe it would work really well as an introduction into the social media for Year 10,ย  or as revision for year 11. What is in the lesson on ‘lesย rรฉseaux sociaux’? The…

    6 French Listening GCSE Websites To Improve Skills

    Why Improve French Listening Skills for GCSE? For the revised 9-1 AQA GCSE French examinations from 2016, each skill: speaking, listening, reading and writing now accounts for 25% of the overall GCSE French grade. In addition, ‘students must enter at one tier for all four skills, not a combination of both’ (AQA Summary Of Changes). Therefore, developing a solid foundation to improve French listening skills is a vital component to being successful in the subject. There have also been changes in the allocation of marks. For example, ‘the requirement for students to manipulate and make more independent use of the target language’ (AQA Summary of Changes). As well as are…

* … and whatever else they want to work on!

* German GCSE & German iGCSE (AQA, Edexcel, Pearson, Eduqas, OCR, WJEC & CIE)
* A-Level German (AQA & WJEC) / Pre-U German
