This resource includes a number of different speaking cards on various topics that pupils could be faced with in the speaking exam. These cards can either be cut up and given to the pupils at random (like in the real exam) or you could give this resource to pupils as a booklet to revise from at their leisure. Obviously, the texts could be used for translation purposes in order to practice translation and reading skills in preparation for the component 2 examination.

This booklet includes a mixture of questions on the theme 2 of the new GCSE specification: ‘Local, national, international and global areas of interest’ Each question is provided in Spanish with an English translation, and differentiated bullet points showing pupils how they can achieve the highest mark in their responses. This booklet is really useful for partner-based speaking practice, and for teacher-pupil speaking practice. Depending on the amount of time pupils have to prepare answers, this booklet will enable pupils to work on their spontaneity, fluency and accuracy. Pupils can also peer assess each other by listening to their partner and providing valuable feedback.

*** The worksheets are to be printed 2-pages on 1 sheet which is why the images are showing up strangely*** These worksheets are for high-level GCSE students. They cover the topic of healthy living and sport, and cover a range of in-depth opinions and reasons. Reading comprehension, translation etc.

**RESOURCE LOOKS FINE ONCE DOWNLOADED - 2 PAGE DOCUMENT APPEARS STRANGELY IN PREVIEW. ** This resource provides KS5 pupils with the opportunity to test their vocabulary and knowledge of different topics. The cards on each sheet can be cut up and used as a card sorting activity, in which pupils have to match up relevant facts to the statements made in the larger boxes. This will enable pupils to practice providing ‘evidence’ when making statements (which is a key aspect of the KS5 speaking exam). Once the cards have been sorted (as a reading activity), pupils can begin having discussions about the statements made and whether they agree / disagree etc. I have done the activity with my current Year 12 class and it really helped them think deeply about different topics and tested their vocabulary. After the match-up activity, they were able to have a detailed debate about a range of topics :)

111 cards in total!! This resource is ideal for revision of different tenses. Pupils can either work their way through this 20 page document for revision, or you could cut up the tense cards (all differentiated and colour coded red, orange, green) and pupils could select cards at random and test themselves. This is a great resource for increasing spontaneity, fluency and accuracy as pupils must complete their chosen card as quickly as possible without making any errors. Adding a competitive element to filling out these cards worked really well with my class! :)

This presentation covers the topic of Travel and Tourism, and the advantages / disadvantages of tourism. Pupils will be encouraged to consider the impact of tourism in Spain from an economic, sociological and cultural perspective. Resources include reading comprehension activities, as well as speaking and listening practice. By the end of this lesson, pupils should be able to participate in a Spanish debate about tourism.

This powerpoint contains a range of different AS-level topics and questions which will help pupils to revise for their speaking exam. Students should be able to understand the text provided and prepare an answer to the question shown on the slide with the photo. The following questions are the unpredicted questions which would follow afterwards in the exam. This resource can be used individually for revision purposes, or can be used for partner work. I used this with my Year 12 class this week and they found it very useful, especially when speaking in pairs and providing each other with feedback.

PRINT CROSSWORD A3 SIZE AND IT PRINTS FINE - PHOTO INCLUDED TO SHOW LAYOUT ONCE PRINTED This crossword is the perfect end of year challenge for KS3 Spanish. The crossword is A3 size and includes 98 across words and 100 down words - which means it is HUGE! My Year 7’s did this recently and absolutely loved it! It’s a great way of rounding off the year and recapping everything done in Year 7. Of course, this crossword can be given to KS4 classes too as quick revision of basic vocabulary. This resource could be used in the classroom or could be set as homework to complete over the summer holidays. It took me a long time to make this, but I would say it’s been well worth it - my pupils have really enjoyed completing it!! :D

This powerpoint focuses on question words and phrases which will help pupils revise and prepare for the speaking exam. Pupils are encouraged to change and modify questions into a range of different tenses. These resources therefore serve to improve verb tense knowledge and grammar skills. There are enough resources here for 2-3 lessons on the topic of questions and they cover a range of abilities. Tenses include: present, preterite, imperfect, future and conditional.

This Powerpoint and accompanying worksheets is aimed at higher ability students and encourages them to provide more complex opinions (and reasons) about teachers. The activities included in the ppt involve reading, listening, translation, writing and speaking. Grammar includes comparative phrases and superlative phrases, as well as adjective agreements.

A whole lesson on the tourist office -powerpoint and accompanying worksheets. I did this lesson recently for an observation and it went really well! :)

Christmas in different countries of the world! This powerpoint explains some of the interesting Christmas traditions that exist in different countries around the world. The powerpoint is in Spanish and there are a number of activities (reading, writing, gap-fill etc) to help build GCSE exam skills. This lesson also includes a section on the Spanish New Year tradition of ‘las uvas de la suerte’ in which students express their desires & wishes for the new year.

This powerpoint contains enough content for at least 2 lessons on the Spanish subjunctive. Students will learn what the subjunctive is, phrases which trigger the subjunctive and also how to form subjunctive verbs (regular and irregular). Through a variety of activities, students will develop their writing, reading and speaking skills whilst also enhancing their knowledge of high-level grammar. This is the perfect lesson for students who are aiming for a grade 7 and above at GCSE level and who already have a good grasp of the present tense in Spanish.

This booklet contains all the key elements for getting a fantastic grade in the GCSE Spanish writing exam. Booklet follows the TORTILLA formula for writing - tenses, opinions, reasons, time phrases, idiomatic expressions, linking words, ‘lo’ phrases, adjectives. This booklet could be used in class alongside teacher-led explanations etc or it could be given to students as homework over a period of time. It could also be used as an extra revision resource for students. There is enough content in this booklet (16 pages) to cover a series of lessons. I used this resource with my own Year 11s recently and it has massively improved their Spanish writing skills! :)
