Spanish A Level: Present Subjunctive. Immigrant women/mujeres inmigrantes en España

As an A Level teacher I always struggle to find teaching materials which develop the students’ grammar skills while they learn about Spanish history and culture. Consequently, I planned this unit of work to prepare and practice reading, speaking and grammar for the topic of immigration in Spain. My aim is that students learn important historical facts while they practice the Present tense of Subjunctive to express wishes and emotions.

This unit of work contains the following tasks for the student to work independently (a booklet of 13 pages) as well as the **PowerPoint ** (40 slides) to be used in class:

• A grammar explanation on how to use the Present of Subjunctive to express wishes (e.g., quiero que estudies español) and emotions (e.g. me sorprende que no estudie español) with activities to practise.
• A crossword to introduce key vocabulary related to the topic.
• A reading task based on an authentic newspaper article adapted as exam-style question from El País (2020).
• A detailed explanation in English on how to answer the stimulus card questions on immigrant women in Spain (suggested content and vocabulary following Exampro) with a special focus on how to use the Subjunctive Mood.
• The three newspaper articles used to prepare the unit.
• Answer key.

Do not forget your feedback. I will appreciate it. Muchas gracias. :)
