Spoken Interactions set in the chosen specialist context (Leisure and Tourism) For the GCSE in Applied French unit 1 students need to submit three spoken interactions recorded on tape, CD or MP3 format. Two of these are recorded throughout the course at times determined by the teacher and the final one is recorded in a window of time prescribed by the exam board. (May of the final year of the course). Students may have three days in which to prepare for each interaction.

Resource 1 is a stimulus for a spoken interaction making complaints in a hotel (doc, 72KB). To prepare for this, students were taught from the Contexte textbook. Module 2 of the book deals with hotels. 

This can be supported by Elliot School's online materials for Module 2 for the GCSE in Applied French written by Neil Jones, the SSAT Lead practitioner.

The interactions are marked for communication and application of language using the Edexcel assessment criteria for the spoken interaction in this grid (doc, 32KB).

Presentation set in the chosen specialist context (Leisure and Tourism)
As part of unit 1, students also need to prepare a presentation set in the chosen specialist context and answer some follow-up questions on this presentation. This should be recorded in a window of time specified by the exam board (May of the final year of the course).

Resource 2 is a sample presentation (doc, 24KB) about a visit to a music festival.  This may be used by teachers as a reading task. The text may be exploited to show use of tenses, opinions etc.

Resource 3 is a presentation prepared by a pupil (doc, 23KB) at Chatsmore about a visit to a music festival.

The presentation and follow up questions are marked separately for communication and content. The presentation and follow-up questions are marked globally for application of language and accuracy using the Edexcel assessment criteria for the presentation in this grid (doc, 41KB).

Resource 4 is an example of a roleplay set in a hotel (doc 79KB) to be used by teachers as a speaking task.
