Year 11, your speaking examinations have been completed and your coursework is now submitted. All that remains are the reading and listening papers. As you know, these are "glorified vocabulary tests" and success lies in practice, practice, practice.
You need to make sure that you are sure of your question words and that you are really secure with the vocabulary that your teachers have tested over the past two years.Here are some websites that we think might help you with the revision process:
- Wildfrench - nicely split up exercises - there are lots of GCSE-style questions here to look into
- BBC Bitesize - we all know what there is here
- Ashcombe School - videos to watch with some exercises to complete - these focus on your listening skills (some are quite challenging)
- Languages Online - you'll recognise this from KS3, even if you haven't used it recently
- Le Point du FLE - some really good reading and listening exercises, all vocabulary based and classified by theme
- Painsley - our very own resources, created by your own teachers!
- Linguascope - good for practising your vocabulary - particularly if you are looking at the C/D borderline grades and making sure you get that C ... check the window in ML4 for the password
- Linguastars - really good for those of you looking for Bs, As and A*s ... check the window in ML4 for the password
- S-Cool - cheesy website name, definitely, but some really good activities to practise that vocabulary! It's split down into topics and is very user friendly as well
- French in a Click - you'll need to download the free 7 day trial, but so long as you use the 7 days well, then it will be worthwhile
- Project GCSE - as long as you can "look past the adverts", then you will find some excellent vocabulary and structures to help you with the listening and reading examinations
- Students' Guide to the AQA French GCSE - a pdf version of the guide produced by the exam board to prepare you for the course which we study
- Listening - loads of listening exercises at a variety of levels (not necessarily aimed at GCSE, but rather beginner to very much not beginner!)
- BBC Languages - this is the bit not aimed at GCSE students, but at adults ... but, you may be surprised to learn that the French language doesn't change depending on your personal age!
