This student-led vocabulary book is ideal for any English-speaking student of GCSE French. One of four books written for the CCEA specification, it also covers the AQA, WJEC and Edexcel courses, as the word lists are virtually identical.

As well as the core vocabulary, this book includes:

• pronunciation guides, allowing students to practise alone and improve their listening skills.

• tick-boxes for every word, helping students to track their learning.

• helpful aide-mémoires (memory aids), helping students absorb vocabulary in an entertaining way.

• pre-set consolidation exercises at the end of each section, that can be attempted without teacher guidance. These allow students to check their level of understanding independently.

With this book, teachers can hand vocabulary learning over to their students, giving the teacher more time in the classroom to focus on the challenging grammar. The series can be used independently by students from Year 8 onwards, building over five years to GCSE success. This is particularly useful for schools that need to use remote learning from time to time.
