This resource is intended for GCSE exam revision with a focus on the consolidation of high-frequency and high-surrender-value words and lexical chunks. Since the content closely matches the vocabulary included in our French GCSE Revision Workouts, "Environment, Health & Career" the two books should be used together for best results. Consistent with Dr Conti's E.P.I. approach, the design of the 'quickies' is based on the key principle that durable vocabulary learning is more likely to occur when lexical items are processed deeply, repeatedly and at every level of grain, i.e. meaning, syntax, lexicogrammar, orthography. Accordingly, each quickie recycles the key vocabulary several times over; builds word associations; elicits deeper level of cognitive investment on the part of the learners and includes tasks which involve semantic processing and others which involve a focus on collocations, colligations, grammar and spelling. In order to cater for differentiated learning, we have included two sets of quickies per unit: a foundation-level set and a higher-level set, the latter including more challenging vocabulary and tasks. Each unit ends with a productive retrievalpractice assessment which may be used to test summatively the uptake of the vocabulary practiced in each unit or merely as an extra revision tool. The revision quickie's format has been tried and tested for years, and is based on the huge success of Dr Gianfranco Conti's GCSE French and Spanish revision quickies, the most downloaded language learning resources of all times on www.tes.com.Please note that both The Language Gym and SentenceBuilders.com websites are ideal supplements to this booklet. Both websites recycle every single lexical and structural item found in this book many times over via self-marking vocabulary and reading workouts, in addition to engaging and fun games and a powerful verb trainer.

This book is meant as a revision resource for GCSE French. It can be used independently by students as well as for classroom practice. It contains 12 units which focus mainly on the themes of environment, health and career.Units start with a knowledge organiser, recapping the the target sentence patterns and lexical items, a series of receptive vocabulary building activities; a set of narrow reading texts and activities; a set of translation tasks. The tasks are graded in order to pose an increasingly demanding but manageable cognitive load and challenge and are based on Dr Conti's P.I.P.O. framework: - Pre-reading tasks (activation of prior knowledge & pre-teaching) - In-reading tasks (intensive exploitation of tasks) - Post-reading tasks (consolidation) - Output (pushed-output tasks) Consistent with Dr Conti's E.P.I. approach, each of the 1 2 units in the book provide extensive recycling of the target lexical items both within each unit and throughout the book, across all the dimensions of receptive and productive processing, i.e.: orthography (single letters and syllables), lexis (both words and chunks), grammar/syntax (with much emphasis on functional and positional processing), meaning and discourse. The recycling occurs through input-flooding and forced retrieval through a wide range of engaging, tried and tested, classic Conti tasks (more than 20 per unit). These include student favourites such as slalom writing, faulty translation, spot the missing detail, sentence puzzles, etc.

Het boek bevat 19 hoofdstukken die te maken hebben met een specifieke communicatieve functie, zoals 'Het uiterlijk en de persoonlijkheid van mensen beschrijven', 'Mensen vergelijken en contrasteren', 'Zeggen wat je wel en niet leuk vindt' of 'Zeggen wat jij en anderen in de vrije tijd doen'. In de inhoudsopgave van dit boek is per hoofdstuk de communicatieve functie aagegeven. Elk hoofdstuk bevat: een schema met zinsstructuren die constructies in de doeltaal modelleren;een reeks oefeningen om de woordenschat op te bouwen;een reeks zeer begrijpelijke leesteksten die worden gebruikt voor een diversiteit aan takendie zich richten op zowel de betekenis als de structuur van de tekst;een reeks vertaaltaken om de stof op te halen;een reeks schrijftaken gericht op belangrijke microvaardigheden zoals spelling, ophalen van woordenschat, syntax en bewerken en communiceren van betekenis.Elk schema met zinsstructuren aan het begin van een hoofdstuk bevat één of meer constructies die zijn geselecteerd met real-life communicatie in gedachten. Elk hoofdstuk is rond die constructie(s) gebouwd, maar niet uitsluitend daarop. Gebaseerd op het principe dat elke EPI-instructiereeks van modellering naar productie moet gaan, breidt elk hoofdstuk het materiaal in elk schema met zinsstructuren uit door het in te bedden in teksten en stapsgewijs opgebouwde taken die zowel bekende als onbekende (maar begrijpelijke en leerbare) woordenschat en structuren bevatten. Door veel en zorgvuldig hergebruik en uitgebreide verwerking van de input, heeft de leerling aan het einde van elk hoofdstuk veel mogelijkheden om met de nieuwe woordenschat en patronen geconfronteerd te worden en deze te verwerken met materiaal van voorgaande hoofdstukken.Naast de hoofdstukken bevat het boek: grammaticablokken: één of twee pagina's met activiteiten regelmatig verspreid tussen de hoofdstukken. Ze richten zich expliciet op de belangrijkste grammaticale structuren die de generatieve kracht van de schema's met zinsstructuren versterken. Op dit niveau gaan ze vooral over de vervoegingen van belangrijke werkwoorden in de tegenwoordige tijd, geven ze de leerlingen een inleiding tot het gebruik van naamvallen en bieden ze mogelijkheden om vertrouwen op te bouwen met de Duitse woordvolgorde;blokken vraagvaardigheden: één of twee pagina's over het begrijpen en maken van vragen. Ook deze blokken komen regelmatig verspreid tussen de hoofdstukken in het boek voor, om dezelfde vraagpatronen in verschillende taalkundige contexten te hergebruiken;blokken 'Even Herhalen': dit zijn herhalingsoefeningen die erop gericht zijn de eerder geleerde woordenschat levend te houden. Ook deze komen regelmatig voor;zelftesten: deze tref je aan het einde van het boek aan. Ze zijn verdeeld in twee secties, een voor minder zelfverzekerde een een voor meer zelfverzekerde leerlingen.Het doel van alle bovenstaande blokken is om veel systematisch hergebruik en afwisseling te implementeren, twee technieken die een sterkere retentie en overdracht van leren mogelijk maken
