GCSE French Revision Quickies: Environment, health & career (Sentence Builder) 100% Authentic - 9783949651717

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 
result.

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 retrieval practice 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.
