Practice Exercises for Translation Skills

For A Level French



“This resource is innovative in bringing an element of fun by offering a series of 3 different exercises on the translation… the resource focuses on specific points such as tenses, articles or structural aspects such as syntax, relative pronouns etc. or spelling.” N Clarens, French teacher

Also available for A level German and Spanish.
66 interesting texts based on topics from the Edexcel A Level specification. These texts are used in three different ways:

  1. The texts are provided in English for students to translate.
  2. Each text has 3 French grammar exercises. These gap-fill exercises test different areas of grammar required by the A Level specification, such as tenses and agreement.
  3. The French texts are provided in full at the end of the resource, serving as examples for the translation exercises and the solution to the grammar exercises. The marking grids which accompany these make teacher, self- and peer-marking easy.
