MFL exams – advice for parents/carers

 Resources
 German www.padlet.com/mdrury/ks4
 French www.padlet.com/mdrury/ks4french
 Spanish www.padlet.com/mdrury/ks4spanish
 Password for each is Bolsover
 www.kerboodle.com
 https://www.youtube.com/@easylanguages
 Listening paper
 In this exam students will be expected to answer comprehension questions based on what they hear. This
can be a difficult exam and students should practice listening to as much of the language as possible.
 There are listening resources on YouTube’s Easy Languages channel, the Kerboodle website and the Padlet
above. Students were recently given a booklet for practicing listening skills and there is a copy of this with
mp3s in the Listening section of the Padlet, above.
 Reading paper
 In this exam students will be expected to answer comprehension questions based on what read. This can be
a difficult exam and students should practice reading texts as much as possible.
 As with listening, there are lots of resources on the Padlet, above and on Kerboodle.
 Speaking exam
 This is usually the FIRST of the MFL exams. Students will have to perform a Role Play and a Photo Card, both
of which are prepared in a 12-minute preparation session before the speaking part starts. If their
preparation is good enough, they can just read it out from their notes.
  On the speaking column of the Padlet above, there are how-to videos, useful vocabulary and practice papers
to have a go at.
 After this, students will have a General Conversation on a theme of their choice. This is the most valuable
part of the exam and lasts 5-7 mins at higher tier. Students are expected to give detailed, complex answers.
We try to ask open questions to give students the chance to talk, so students are advised to make the most
of this opportunity and say as much as possible.
 Students have a speaking booklet in which they have been preparing great answers, a set of verb cards to
practice their tenses and lots of resources in the speaking column of the Padlet, above.
 Most of all, students should practice actually speaking, even if they’re just reading out from notes, in order
to develop their fluency of pronunciation.
 Writing exam
 In this exam students will have to write a number of creative writing pieces. They will be judged on
grammatical accuracy, clarity and complexity. Their verb formations need to be secure and they need to
have memorized a WOW-phrase or two to show off.

 There are how-to videos and practice resources in the writing section of the Padlets above and students
have numerous booklets both in school and at home from previous years in which they can practice. Their
verb cards will also be beneficial.
 Shortly before exams students will be given their previous mock exam with feedback and targets for next
time so that they can remind themselves what they can improve on between one exam and the next.
