Revision priorities in MFL are as follows:

Vocabulary

·         Learn vocabulary for 5 to 10 minutes every day. Use the vocabulary book your teacher provided, Memrise, Quizlet, your textbook or printed lists.

Speaking

·         Practise the answers you have prepared during the course to the questions you might be asked in your speaking exam.

·         Work with a friend or family member, or practise recording yourself.

·         It is worth you learning at least some of these off by heart.

·         Remember: you have more control over the speaking exam than over any of the other three exams. Make this the exam you get your highest grade in.

·         Speaking is your top priority!

Writing

·         Learn around 5 to 10 phrases off by heart which you know you should be able to use in any piece of writing. For example, ‘I had fun’ is likely to work for any topic and will help you show off the past time frame.

Reading and listening

·         It is important that you are as familiar as possible with the types of questions asked on these papers.

By far the best resource for this is the Revision Workbook: 

·         The revision workbook contains questions, answers and access to transcripts online.

·         Sample and specimen papers are also extremely helpful, although, because you are doing a relatively new specification, there aren't many to practise yet.  

Remember that your textbook or the online version (Active Hub) are there to support you as well.
