Open College Network: Level 1 – Holidays and Health

This resource, Level 1 French Unit 3 Holidays and Health, is designed for use on the Open College Network programme, which provides accreditation for many courses offered in Further Education Colleges, Tertiary Colleges and Sixth Form Colleges. However, the learning outcomes could be used with any evidence-based French Course as well as for students preparing for GSCE.

This resource provides busy French teachers with a set of ready-made learning outcomes, which can be used individually or combined into a portfolio for moderation. A 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. It also meets the new OFSTED requirement RARPA (Recognising and Recording Progress and Achievement). It is 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 outcome graded to match the ability of individual students to fulfil OFSTED’s stipulation for differentiation in the classroom. Some tasks will stretch and satisfy the brighter students while more elementary 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 language courses.

This unit, Holidays and Health (French), is aimed at beginners and consists 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,
