Introduction
This GCSE pack is designed to prepare students for their French speaking
exam.

The pack has been devised for use with the AQA, Edexcel and WJEC Eduqas
specifications for GCSE French. The activities and ideas will help students
develop confidence in preparing for the three elements of the exam: the role-
play, the photo card and the general conversation.

The pack contains worksheets, pair work speaking activities, games and
practice exam questions along with revision materials. You’ll also find teaching
notes at the start of each section and answers at the end of each section.

Our thanks go to our contributing writers: Nick Richards-Gourves, Barbara
Gerard and Lorraine Lateu.
