Attached is a booklet I have made to help my students revise for the GCSE Spanish role play. It is for Foundation Level as this is what I am currently teaching to two groups. All of our students do a GCSE MFL and in these late stages we have settled on who should do Foundation. To help them, I have tried to break things down into chunks for them to learn the key vocabulary with Quizlet links to support – they seem to find these useful. There is a set of past paper role plays in the second half of the booklet. In practical terms, I have copied the booklet on A5 size to make it a bit more portab ..read more

I have updated the vocabulary booklet to include some morphology exercises at the beginning e.g. suffixes like -ante, -dor, etc. There are Quizlets for all of the vocabulary which can be found in the following Padlet – https://padlet.com/njones38211/spanish-gcse-revision-2023-ei3dt5dpk5o0p9ph spanish-vocabulary-higher-foundation-2023Download ..read more

Attached is an updated booklet for the GCSE AQA Spanish writing exam at Foundation. With my groups I find that lots of use of mini whiteboards to practise extended writing, esp. the 90 task helps lots. Regular practice using methods such as delayed dictation or showing a model answer which they write it down once removed from display all help to develop their memory and embed more complex phrases. If anyone has any great ideas on how to improve writing esp. on the 150 word tasks at Higher, please share! writing-exam-booklet-foundation-2023-summer-1Download writing-exam-hacks-1Download foundati ..read more

Attached are booklets based on the AQA reading and listening exams. Using past paper questions grouped together, the aim is to get the students to focus on some of the techniques needed.

Attached is a booklet I have put together guiding students through the requirements for the GCSE Higher Writing paper. It has been updated to take into account the advance information on the Spanish exam i.e. no topic of free time for the 90 and 150 word tasks at Higher Level. There have also been some further additions – idioms and in the translation section. I have not updated all of the 90 word tasks i.e. I have not removed the topic of free time, as I have mixed tier groups and the Foundation students will still need to cover free time. (I am confused by this, but perhaps I am missing the ..read more

As we are being told that the exams in the summer 2022 will focus on the vocabulary listed in the specification along with words derived from these, we can work on getting al of our students to learn this language. The attached booklets are nothing special. They list the vocabulary as it is presented by the exam board AQA, but each section has a total and Excel spreadsheets are also attached which can be used to create Quizlets, etc. We are running competitions between groups and making pre-learning a large priority. I hope these may be of use. SPANISH VOCABULARY Higher 2022Download ALL GCSE V ..read more

I have put together some worksheets on suffixes and prefixes to help students work out patterns of words. It is aimed at GCSE students, but I guess that it can be adapted to pretty much any level. The worksheets can all be split into smaller units and dropped into lessons rather than covered all in one go.

UPDATED APRIL 2023 – I have put two reading comprehension booklets together based on similar types of questions that have been appearing in the AQA GCSE exams. Skills are the key focus of the booklets, but it is good for students to experience different forms of questioning used in the exams. I have been working on a PowerPoint to accompany the Foundation version as I only have Foundation groups this year. This is saved in the same area below, but it is very much work in progress and will improve as I work through. Please note that all of the exercises in the booklets are taken from past paper ..read more

I am sharing a homework task I have just put together for my A level Spanish students. I am going back over some of the topic areas we have previously covered. Summary skills have been an area they have struggled with, so I have been using homework to give them frequent practice. Hope this is of use.
