This resource will help lay the foundations for mastery of German pronunciation whilst at the same time practicing topic vocabulary commonly taught at KS3. The topics are cross-referenced and link to the AQA GCSE specification. A very useful addition to a department’s bank of resources, addressing an issue that has been overlooked in the past, but which – with the new GCSE – we need to tackle head-on. The photocopiable worksheets offer a wealth of relevant activities which promote the development of skills required for the new GCSE, whilst being engaging and motivating for younger students. They include vocab warm-up, read-aloud practice, dictation, songs, games and tongue twisters. it will prove a real time-saver to the busy language teacher as well as supporting students in their studies in their first few years of language learning.

I loved it! Phrases with simple vocab and structure and tasks which are easy to set up and execute with minimal prep. I like the simplicity of the activities, and the font was easy to read. I thought the tips for pronunciation were excellent too. This resource will be invaluable for young learners because French pronunciation is so difficult.

I like the choice of words and the opportunities to recap vocabulary , it is good retrieval. It allows the student to build knowledge around vocabulary and phonics. There is some topical focus as well which will help teachers incorporate these activities into a particular module / unit. The focus on antonyms is very good for vocab practice too. The fun quizzes are great!!! There are some opportunities to recap verb conjugations and this is most welcome.
