French GCSE AQA Y1 Topics (14-16yrs)

Welcome to our AQA GCSE French Year One course!

This course is the follow-on to our French Intermediate Year 2 course, or for students who have studied French for two or more years before joining LLP.  The course is based on the textbook AQA GCSE French Foundation (by Paul Shannon).  As well as revising some topics previously studied, we will study new topics such as Customs & Celebrations, Healthy Lifestyle, Where I live, and Media & Technology.  You will be have further practice in GCSE exam style tasks, and you will start preparing for the 3 different elements of the GCSE speaking exam.

Materials:
You do not need to buy a textbook, as all materials will be provided on the website, although of course, you may wish to buy your own copy so that you can make notes on it in class.
Please check the entries under “materials” for each lesson, as that’s where I’ll post Class Documents (sheets that, ideally, need to be printed out before that specific lesson) and Optional Tasks (additional, optional tasks for those children who to wish to practise what they’ve learnt after the lesson).

It’s always helpful to have pen and paper ready in case you need / want to write something down during the lesson.

Please note – For safeguarding purposes, each Zoom lesson includes a brief registration at the beginning which requires children to have their webcam switched on. If your child would like to join lessons but is anxious about this or needs to have their face covered during lessons for religious or any other reason please get in touch, and we can arrange an alternate method of registration for them.
