Environment and Global Issues

What this page covers

This unit sits in the strand Society, Culture and Global Issues within French language. The resources are mostly vocabulary: environmental problems, daily habits that help the planet, energy, weather and disasters. Most are flashcard decks, with a smaller set of mind maps, three quizzes and one note.

Where to start

Begin with the deck GCSE French - The Environment. It opens with climate change terms such as le réchauffement climatique, then moves on to waste, light, fires and rush hours. Next, try French verbs and adjectives in context of the environment. It lists action words like recycler, gaspiller, protéger and polluer, plus adjectives such as pollué.

1. Learn core nouns and verbs from the two decks above.
2. Open French Revision - Environment to see them grouped under headings like Global Problems, Waste, Human Impact and Helping the Planet.
3. Take the quiz La pollution - A (quiz) to check words such as la circulation routière, les ordures ménagères and le réchauffement.

Using quizzes and maps together

A mind map shows how ideas connect, and a quiz shows what you can recall. Study a map first, then take a quiz and note the words you missed. Go back to the matching flashcard deck for those words only. Repeat until the gaps close.

For energy, the mind map Types d'energie and the deck L'environnement 2 cover words like renouvelable, solaire and le recyclage. For a wider view, Semantic field of climate change (for french) gathers climate vocabulary in one place.

Other angles

Some resources look at the local setting. Home and Environment is a mind map on where you live, with phrases such as dans le nord de. There is also a GCSE French mind map on towns and the environment, with a note made from it. A few decks are written for a particular class or assessment, so check that the wording suits your course.
