Revisions to alevelfrench.com

Some fantastic comments on the resources on www.alevelfrench.com which have been very motivating.  The materials for literature www.unsacdebilles.co.uk particularly were described by a teacher as the best he had seen in forty years of teaching.  Another described www.letranger.co.uk materials as being the best she had seen in thirty years of teaching literature-so we must be headed in the right direction.  Not wishing to stand on our laurels we decided to set ourselves the target of completing the following extras for a phase 2:-

This is now largely complete as we speak on the 6th July 2011 so teachers wishing to teach the eight literature titles can head off for a good holiday knowing that they have a body of materials they can use on their return to school.

We are always looking for extra materials to motivate our students and Un sac de billes has now had a bande dessinée (the second) written based on it; the first volume of two is now ready and available from the French amazon or from www.alevelfrench.com

Interesting to see that the French Culturthèque has just featured No et Moi and Kiffe Kiffe Demain on its site although not much is said.

Well the big event this week is undoubtedly the Language World Conference at Imperial College London where I shall be speaking about A*ttitudes the new AS level course.   I don't yet know how many people will be attending but hope to get some valuable feedback to take the product forward.
