We provide a textbook for use in lessons called Amici and an accompanying study guide is available for pupils to purchase.
We also subscribe to an online vocabulary learning website called Vocab Express. Vocabulary learning is essential for success in GCSE languages and the Vocab Express website enables students to learn and revise words and phrases relevant to the topics they are studying in an interactive and competitive environment. Furthermore this is a resource that pupils can use independently for revision without the need for specific lists to be set by their teacher. Pupils find this a very useful and an enjoyable way of learning vocabulary.
The link for Vocab Express is:

Other websites that are freely available to pupils are:
www.languagesonline.org.uk
(particularly good for revising grammar - verbs, tenses and other various grammar points)
http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/gcsebitesize/
(useful at the end of the course for revision)
