How to use this the learning and assessment resource to improve practice

The recordings are accompanied by transcripts in French so learners can check their understanding.

The recordings can be used as listening comprehension practice; teachers can create questions tailored to a particular focus, or allow learners to simply note as much as possible, piecing together the gist of the recording.

Transcripts can be used to check accuracy and as a separate teaching resource – as a cloze exercise, reading comprehension practice , or as a springboard to extended writing.
