Telescope 2 Teacher's Resource Book

"Telescope 2" is the second stage of a two-part course for French GCSE.

The course as a whole aims to: consolidate and develop students' ability to understand and use the French language; extend students' general knowledge through the medium of French; and increase their knowledge about French-speaking people and places. "Telescope 2" focuses on the skills and language required for the GCSE exam papers, to make sure that students achieve the best possible results.The units fall into two sections.

In the first section, five units cover the five main topic areas.

Each of these units develops students' language skills via a wide range of GCSE tasks.

On each page of units 1-5 there are also practical tips in English on exam technique and key language points.

These units are supported by grammar worksheets. There is also a grammar reference at the end of the book.

In the second section, units 6-9 provide a range of "mock" GCSE tasks in each of the four tested skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing.

In the listening and reading tasks, "target" marks are indicated, representing achievement at Grade C or Grade A*, so that students or teachers can check progress.

All the tasks in this section are closely modelled on GCSE papers.
