Publisher's Synopsis
This workbook, the second of a two-part series, is for students and teachers preparing for the GCSE French exams beginning in 2026 (first teaching September 2024).
Just like Part One, each one of the five units in this book consists of the following:
- Foundation Tier vocabulary building exercises, followed by exam-style Foundation Reading tasks.Higher Tier vocabulary building exercises followed by Higher Reading tasks.A Grammar Focus section with explanations and practice exercises on priority areas, such as verb tenses.A set of pre-speaking and writing exercises.Exam-style photo card and role-play tasks at Foundation and Higher Tier.Exam-style writing tasks at Foundation and Higher Tier.A bank of adaptable model sentences to help students learn material for speaking and writing.
Each unit has been planned to recycle the same words, chunks and sentences many times over to help students remember as much as possible when they do the exam. We know how important frequent repetition is for students of all levels of proficiency. In addition, much of the high-frequency vocabulary and structures are encountered across all the units.
The content has been written to take account of the DfE's requirement that GCSE students "should become familiar with aspects of the contexts and cultures of the countries and communities where the language is spoken".
Thematic, vocabulary and grammar content has been matched against the new specifications and should be suitable for both AQA and Pearson-Edexcel.
Students may work through the whole book, or teachers may like to photocopy individual pages, sections or whole units. An answer key is provided.
