First Level Significant Aspects of Learning Use language in a
range of contexts and across learning Continue to develop
confidence and enthusiasm to communicate using the language being
learnt Develop an awareness and understanding of patterns and
sounds of language Begin to develop an understanding of, interest
in and respect for other countries, cultures and languages
Appreciate and understand the value of language learning Recognise
familiar written words when listening Explore how gesture,
expression and emphasis are used to help understanding. Listen,

conversations Understand and respond to familiar spoken vocabulary
Actively take part in daily routines Listen and join in with
stories, song or poem Enjoy engaging with simple and familiar texts
on my own and with others using resources to support learning

Embedding the language You could use the alphabet as a
countdown in class for getting tidied up etc. You could ask pupils
how something might be spelt in French. This can really help to
enhance their spelling English as they are thinking twice as hard
about the letter sequencing of a word.
Slide 34
Sample activities You will find a bank of sample activities
which you can use to practise the vocabulary in the classroom. This
is not a prescriptive list of activities and you can use or adapt
them to suit the needs of your class.

Match the sounds to the letters For this activity you will need
the Letters co-op task cards document which is on the website in
the extra resources section. Print off the sounds and place them
around the classroom at stations. Pupils should write the alphabet
in their jotters. In pairs, pupils will then visit each letter
sound for a set time and will copy it down beside the corresponding
letter. At the end, you can check these with the sound files on the
vocabulary slides.
Slide 41
Trouvez les sons qui correspondent aux lettres. Par exemple A =
Ah

Slide 43
Linking the sounds to actions You can link the sounds to
actions see if the pupils can pupils can come up with a set for
your class. Some suggestions: Ah like sticking your tongue out for
a doctor Bay a coastal bay or in French baby is bb so you could do
a baby in your arms mime. Say Is like saying something so you could
do something to mimic that. Day like a day / sunrise for example
Euh (e) sound a bit like being punched in the stomach! Etc. These
are fun to make up and its good to let the pupils choose which ones
help them remember best. Once youve got a set you can practise them
altogether.
Slide 44
Alpha-tig! This is best played in a gym hall/outside. Choose 3
or 4 pupils who will be it. Give each of remaining pupils a letter
so that they make up the whole alphabet. Some people will have two
letters. They will then write their letter on a bit of paper and
stick it to themselves with sellotape etc. Double up letters if
necessary. Make sure they each know their own letter and know how
to pronounce it in French. You could do this by getting them to
line up in order of the alphabet and to say it along the line. You
will then say a word and the pupils who are it have to then tig
those with the letters. Its the rest of the alphabets job to
protect them! Once they have the letters, bring them out to the
front and they can spell out the word in French.
Slide 45
Alpha-shapes Say a letter and get the pupils to try and form
that letter by shaping themselves like in on the floor (or
standing). Get everyone to say it once they are in position!
Slide 46
Songs and videos! You will find a bank of sample songs and
videos which you can use to practise the vocabulary in the
classroom. This is not a prescriptive list of songs and you can use
or adapt them to suit the needs of your class.
