What do teachers say about this resource? (8224)

A welcome resource for the classroom teacher to use with students in order to give them more practice for the reading and writing parts of the examination. It mirrors very well the questions set in the examination by Edexcel for AS level French. It gives the teacher an extra resource all the more welcome as it follows the format of the exam. Students can never get too much exam practice. This can be used as a classroom activity or a homework.

C Hicks, retired HOD French, examiner and now tutor & Peer Reviewer

Very comprehensive resource, with varied activities and exercises, which are the type of exercises that appear in exam papers. Very good for key vocabulary building or revision. Students can then practise this vocabulary by completing a series of exercises, in order to use this vocab in context. Grammatical points selected are the ones that students often find difficult, especially when it comes to irregular verbs. This resource even includes a few speaking activities, in the form of games, which is always motivating. The author has thought about the cultural input, when writing the reading texts (figures are included as well as what happens in French-speaking countries other than France) to equip students further with thematic knowledge.
