*this isn’t a joke
With a spoon…
• Your French exams are on Monday 13th May
• This is less than 5 weeks away
• Controlled Assessments are almost over, accounting for 60% of your final grade.
• What about the remaining 40%???
• Speaking and Writing account for 60% of the final grade
• Listening and Reading account for 40% of the final grade. Why?
• Because they are seen as easier skills.
• Note: Easier, NOT Easy
• … should be to revise some French words EVERY DAY from now until the exams
• Not EVERY WORD (the elephant) BUT dozen or so (a spoonful?)
• There is no short cut to learning languages. You need to ‘upload’ the vocabulary into your BRAINS and this CANNOT be done the night before your exams…
• Build some vocabulary work into your daily routine… It needn’t be onerous (a burden), 10-15 minutes per day is better than 3 hours the night before
• Make use of online resources
• Remember Linguascope, in particular the ‘Intermediate section’. There are downloadable pdf files with useful vocab
• ACTIVE TEACH – on the VLE

• Available on VLE or via the link from my wikispace site:www.leprofquichante.wikispaces.com
• Why not improve your listening skills by playing the listening file and reading the transcript at the same time?
• You can then make links between the sound of French and the written word and you can highlight words that you do not know and need to learn…
