FRANZÖSISCH ADVANCED INTERMEDIATE FRENCH ADVANCED FRENCH 100 PROMPTS FOR SPEAKING AND CREATIVE WRITING WITH REFERENCE AND PLANNING SHEETS

Students often find speaking and writing quite challenging in French class. They find it really useful to engage with activities that require them to reproduce language they are already familiar with, be creative with that language in order to produce new language, and also enable them to engage with entirely new language. This set features 100 prompts for speaking and writing, addressing a broad range of language and grammar. The CEFR level is roughly A2-B2, with some reference to C1. The set includes a complete reference sheet and a planning sheet for class and home learning. The activity works well as a spontaneous speaking / creative writing activity, and students also benefit from a more focused approach, where they can research and plan more detailed and complex responses as their competence and skills develop.

The prompts broadly address the following themes:

college life & study; future plans; information technology; local environment; social, environmental & political issues; France & travel; social activity & daily life

Students may not have formally covered all the language and grammar featured, as the activity is not solely about practising language, but also actively learning it. Encourage students to look for cues and prompts in the questions themselves, and this enables them to engage with new or unknown language successfully, and to use it creatively in their responses.

Questions formats are varied, to ensure maximum opportunity to work with the different ways to ask questions in French. Some questions seek to elicit very similar information, but are asked in different language, as this avoids students simply parroting learned responses to fixed prompts. The prompts are really versatile too, and are equally useful as conversation starters.

Remind students that it is not necessary to tell the truth - the purpose is to create and produce accurate and realistic language. Frequent and regular engagement with the activity brings the best results: with the planning sheet, students can create and prepare increasingly detailed and more complex responses, reflecting their learning progress. The prompts work equally well as a whole-group oral activity. This ensures everyone can actually access the language, and they also benefit a lot from each others’ ideas.
