This tool allow students to quickly learn different verbs conjugations.

Pupils record their scores and I have a breakdown of their individual performance.

Pupils can also concentrate on one verb at a time as well as one personal pronoun. This is a good way of differentiating work.

I often create grammar tasks in a language which is accessible to young students. This exercise consolidates what was taught in class

Sometimes I include links to Youtube videos which explains the rules if they require it.

The gapfill also reinforces keywords and basic verbs conjugations.

Students often do translations too in my lessons. Unfortunately, Google translate is getting more accurate which is a real pain!

Therefore I don’t do translations as homework tasks very often.

Q35 and 36 are incorrect sentences written by students.

Students enjoy seeing their names online for some reason and often complain to me when their names don’t appear!

I use Memrise to help students better understand what these important words mean.

Too often I see students using words like “le” far too liberally. This exercise is helpful.

We often repeat the words in class. Especially “je” and “j’ai”

When the class gets a bit too noisy, I usually get a student to shout out “ça suffit maintenant” It seems to be quite effective and saves my voice!

Students sometimes forget “que” because it is usually omitted in English.

Multiple choice question

Too many students do not understand the importance of the direction of accents. A few don’t bother at all with them!

I teach a range of abilities. I have to make sure that questions are appropriate for all levels.

Some Year 7 students in my class would struggle here. They have an option of putting an “x” which will be marked correctly but I will know they haven’t actually attempted the question.

A very common mistake but one which maybe too difficult for a few students.

Students also get immediate feedback. I could have given more information on the correct answer but I made this test quite quickly.

This question has three mistakes. However, by saying there are four mistakes. Some students do find the correct three. Also, forming questions like this bring to light misconceptions.

With these types of questions, I have seen some wonderful learning conversations between students as they evaluate this question. They discuss each word and justify their inclusion.

(For some reason the site keeps wanting to capitalise the “h” very weird!)
