Soy rapero y YouTubero”, is a comprehensive practical study guide for Edexcel GCSE Spanish that will help your students to succeed in their exams. It uses humour and a fresh engaging story, written in the first person from the point of view of a 15 year old boy called Alex. Alex lives in England but he is bilingual in English and in Spanish. He spends every summer at his grandparent´s house in San Sebastian, Northern Spain. There, he learns about Spanish culture, food and festivals, before coming back to school in England. You can try this resource viewing a sample with the first two podcasts via this link https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/-12830867 -The podcasts have been written to facilitate practice and learning of the Edexcel Spanish GCSE syllabus. The resource is divided into 22 podcasts with follow-up exam practice questions, plus there is a final worksheet on characterisation, which acts as a bridge to the A level syllabus. -The students can listen to the podcasts conveniently while they are on the go and they can listen to them while reading the transcripts and before doing the GCSE exam-like questions. -Each podcast includes at least one GCSE Spanish topic and overall the resource covers all the main GCSE Edexcel topics. To help students learn vocabulary relevant to the GCSE topics, the podcasts include words from the Edexcel vocabulary list. In addition, each podcast has one or more grammar teaching points. A table with a list of both the GCSE topics and the grammar points used in this booklet can be found on pages 6 and 7. Each podcast has around 150 words. The resource can be used in different ways: to complement your teaching, as a revision booklet, for independent study, to set homework or for cover lessons. This resource can be differentiated. For lower level students, we suggest that you use the texts as reading exercises, whilst higher level students, can listen to the podcast first and attempt to answer the questions before reading the text. The music used in the podcasts has been written by my 15 year old son, whose artistic name is Lil Reddy, you can check out his YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLuRXSjGyHPXtVhLdp7X3KQ Tes paid licence

This resource can be used as a lesson on how to prepare for the role play task (foundation and higher tiers) or as a booklet for students to practise as part of the lesson, homework, revision material, etc. The booklet is aimed to focus on how to answer/understand the bullet points and think about what the examiner could ask for each of them. It also contains information about the role play task for Edexcel. I have not created/designed the role plays. I have put together some of the foundation and higher role plays from the Edexcel VIVA textbook and some from past papers/sample assessments, etc. They are organised by theme.

The sheet has been created to help support teachers while conducting speaking mocks for the Edexcel Pearson speaking exam (Spec. 2016). The official mark schemes can sometimes be overwhelming during mocks when teachers have to ensure students are prepared, they are asking the correct questions, keeping an eye on time and having to listen and mark on the spot. To help with this demanding task, the basic information has been fitted to an A4 sized table. Foundation and higher mark sheets included. For the role-play, there is space to tally how many points you give (2 points per question) The picture-based activity and general converastion mark bands have been simplified to the basic information. While conducting the assessment, add a tick in which band you think is appropriate. When you finally upload data, simply, refer back to Pearson Edexcel’s mark scheme to award a number based. Our team saved a lot of time marking mocks this way and we managed to fit in over 80 students with 4 teachers conducting in one day.
