MFL GSCE speaking revision in French and Spanish is a biggie. Why? Well, the GCSE speaking exam can feel like sitting in the hot seat on a game show. But your prize is a % of your final grade. It’s not the most encouraging thought when your nerves are attempting sabotage.
But fear not! You can walk in calmly, confidently, and ready to wow, with the right prep and a little expert help.
Here’s how a professional language school like la Academia can supercharge your MFL GSCE speaking revision. Spoiler alert: It doesn’t have to be mind-numbingly boring or terrifying.
1 Make Role Play a Key Focus Your MFL GSCE Speaking Revision
Role play can feel uncomfortable and outright embarrassing in front of your classmates. On the other hand, you get more used to speaking on the spot, in a safe space, during supplementary speaking revision sessions.
Your tutor role plays as your French or Spanish bestie until you’re breezing through and responding clearly and confidently – even to any surprise questions.
2 Ace the Photo Cards
The photo card element of your speaking exam calls for not only describing what’s in the picture, but also chatting about related topics.
For these reasons, signing up for purpose-designed MFL GSCE speaking revision at your local language school helps you:
- Build vocab around common themes
- Practice with real examples
- Tackle sneaky follow-up questions without going to pieces
3 Conquer the Conversation
This is your time to shine. And you will, when you’ve had extra help from an experienced language tutor to:
- Prep you with questions on common GCSE themes
- Teach you how to ask your own questions (which is expected)
- Keep the conversation flowing naturally (or as naturally as you can in a situation that feels anything but natural!)
Sound Like a Plan?
Speaking exams are less scary when you’ve practised the structure, the vocab, and your delivery.
