One for the whizz kids!
This GCSE Fast Track resource has been created to take highly capable languages students from scratch up to Higher tier level in 1 year, structured around just 35 tutor sessions. It covers the topics, vocabulary and grammar found in the AQA 2016 specification and beyond.
An excellent resource which I would be very happy to use
This comprehensive resource provides the core materials students will need, including helpful tips and recaps. Fun activities that get progressively more difficult engage and challenge students throughout!
Structured learning:

- Preparation: Approx. 2 hours of introductory activities based on the topics and grammar in the next lesson
- Lesson: 30–60 minutes of activities focused primarily on speaking for pronunciation practice and discussion
- Homework: About 1 hour of consolidation activities centred on listening, reading and writing skills
This resource feels different and original which is refreshing
- Students and teachers can track progress throughout with a grammar checklist.
- A practice assessment with exam-style questions from all 4 units is provided at the end for final review.
- Teacher’s pack with objectives, instructions and answers.
- Student’s pack with activities, tips and recaps.

What do teachers say about this resource? (7987)
This resource feels different and original which is refreshing. I really like the fact that a lot of the texts are about French speaking countries, not just France. I like the cultural references for the research tasks. I also share many of the author’s approaches and I think it is an excellent resource which I would be very happy to use.
A good resource for students working towards GCSE in 12 months, with or without a tutor. The material seemed well researched and at a suitable level for the intended purpose.
I really liked the stages of learning, starting with the pre-learning tasks and then followed up with a consolidation homework. I also liked the suggestions for supporting websites and the tracker - allowing the pupil to take responsibility for their learning away from the lesson. The cultural element (at the start of the pack) sets the tone and places the learning into context - something especially relevant under the new GCSE format.
