GCSE French 2 for CCEA. Student's book - Ian Maun

GCSE French 2 is the second part of a two-stage course, approved by the CCEA for use with the new CCEA GCSE French specification. While GCSE French 1 provides clear and thorough explanation and practice of the language content and structures required for success in GCSE French, GCSE French 2 focuses tightly on revision of key material and on practice of the task types for the GCSE French papers, to enable students to achieve the best possible grade.;The first section consists of five chapters, each focusing on one of the five main context areas (everyday activities; personal and social life; the world around us; the world of work; and the international world). Within these chapters are frequent tips and study skills, efficient revision techniques, and key language points, with cross-references to a clear reference section provided at the back of the book.;The second section consists of four chapters, each focusing on one of the four skills (listening, reading, speaking, writing). The tasks in this section are modelled closely on GCSE papers and are differentiated for Foundation and Higher tiers. Target marks indicate scores approximating to performance at C grade and A* grade levels.;Special features of GCSE French 2 are: practical reminders in the form of tips (in English) on how to improve performance; thorough coverage of the type of tasks used in the new GCSE papers; clearly differentiated tasks to suit all levels of student; ICT opportunities built into section 1; target marks so that students have a clear idea of how well they are scoring; and audio cassettes or CDs.
