Lesson Plan

• Identify and describe a range of jobs and careers in French.
• Use present, future and conditional tenses to talk about work situations.
• Produce spoken responses (role‑play, information‑gap) appropriate to exam tasks.
• Write a short formal letter of application or article using target vocabulary and structures.

• Projector and screen
• Printed job‑advertisement handouts
• Audio clip of a French employee describing a day
• Vocabulary worksheets (jobs, contracts, expressions)
• Whiteboard and markers
• Role‑play cue cards
• Exam‑style writing prompt sheets

Begin with a 1‑minute video of a French professional describing a typical workday to spark interest. Ask learners what jobs they already know in French and link this to the unit’s focus. Explain that by the end of the lesson they will be able to describe jobs, use three verb tenses correctly, and produce a short written piece.

1. Do‑now (5') – Matching activity: French job titles ↔ English meanings.
2. Mini‑lecture (10') – Review key vocabulary and conjugations of travailler, gagner in present, future and conditional.
3. Listening comprehension (8') – Play audio clip; students answer true/false and short‑answer questions.
4. Role‑play (15') – Recruiter vs. job‑seeker using printed ads; focus on asking about duties, salary, contracts.
5. Writing task (12') – Draft a letter of application for an “assistant commercial”; teacher circulates for support.
6. Peer feedback & error correction (5') – Students exchange letters, highlight correct verb forms and vocabulary.

Summarise the main language points covered and ask each pupil to write one sentence about their ideal job using the future tense as an exit ticket. For homework, students will complete a 80‑word article on the advantages and disadvantages of working from home, applying the new vocabulary and structures.
