The tasks in this text are modelled on the rubrics and task types in the new GCSE examination. Most, therefore, have French rubrics and require a response in French. A few of the more complex comprehension and interpretation tasks, and scenario settings for writing tasks and role-play contexts, are in English, as in the examination. A list of standard French rubrics is included to allow preparation for the exam. There is one unit for each of the five "Areas of Experience" defined in the national curriculum orders for French. Within each unit, all four skills - listening, speaking, reading and writing - are covered through tasks which draw on sources and stimuli typical of the GCSE papers. The teacher's notes, packaged with the cassette, include: practical guidance on using this resource in the context of the new GCSE; transcripts for listening tasks and role plays; sheets with answers where appropriate so that performance may be self-assessed as an alternative to teacher assessment; and photocopiable "mock papers" which can be used for controlled practice and assessment in preparation for the exam.
