Education Scotland have published resources to support the implementation of National 4 and 5 in French. These materials have been prepared by teachers for teachers. They draw from three sources - course materials commissioned by Education Scotland, other support materials produced by teachers seconded to Education Scotland and course materials provided by teachers through their Education Authorities. Further materials will be added as they become available.  You will need a Glow userid and password to access the materials.

• Course materials 

The Professional Development Officers at SCILT recommend the following French reading materials for use with the new Higher. The French resources tie in with the context of Society: Family and friends - gang culture.

• Les gangs de rue (developed by SCILT)
• 'Youth gangs' (text taken from Ontario Provincial Police website - http://www.opp.ca)

SCILT's Professional Development Officers have developed a pack of resources on Silence de la Mer which are suitable for Advanced Higher French pupils who have limited teaching input.

The pack includes information on the Specialist Study Unit; suggested timescales; character analysis; themes; suggested portfolio titles and a glossary of vocabulary.

• Le Silence de la Mer

Developed by Education Scotland to support National 4 French, Mike Martin explores the contexts of Society and Culture.  By joining Scottish private eye Mike Martin on an adventure that leads him across the French speaking world, learners can develop their skills in listening and talking, reading and writing.  Although intended for National 4 classes, this audio book and accompanying materials could be used to teach National 4, 5 and beyond.

Access this resource through the Education Scotland website. A Glow login is required.

Every year, in October and November, the latest French films are shown at film festivals across Scotland, and teachers are invited to bring their pupils to these showings. The films are shown at the Discovery Film Festival in Dundee, during the National Schools Film Week, and at the French Film Festival in Scotland.

Teachers can also borrow DVDs from the library of the Institut Français in Edinburgh or from the Alliance Française in Glasgow.
