This resource for Open College Network Level 1 French Unit 2 Getting About is specially designed to fulfil the accreditation requirements for the Open College Network but could be used with any French Course.

It provides busy French teachers with a set of ready-made learning outcomes, which can be used independently or combined into each learner's portfolio for both internal and external moderation. A portfolio title page is included for this purpose.

Each learning outcome has space for the student's name and feedback from the course tutor as required by the Open College Network and others. It is also labelled with the unit title and the learning outcome number for easy reference by the moderator. The tasks mirror real-life situations and in most cases there is a choice of learning outcomes graded to match the ability of individual students and to provide for differentiation in the classroom as required by OFSTED. Some tasks will stretch and satisfy the brighter students less demanding tasks will encourage the less confident learners. The learning outcomes also provide for the assessment of speaking, reading and writing skills as required in most in most language courses.

The learning outcomes in the unit Getting About are aimed at adult and young adult beginners and consist of a variety of lively, interactive oral activities including role plays and pair work as well as a few reading activities and a little elementary writing. As the student progresses, the learning outcome tasks become increasingly complex.
