This resource contains written exemplar responses to the three written questions on 35 different AQA stimulus cards for AS and A-Level pupils. There is at least one card for all of the following themes: Los valores tradicionales y modernos. El ciberespacio. La igualdad de los sexos. La inmigración. El racismo. La convivencia. La influencia de los ídolos. La identidad regional en España. El patrimonio cultural. Jóvenes de hoy, ciudadanos de mañana. Monarquías y dictaduras. Movimientos populares As a Spanish Language Assistant, I focused heavily on the speaking card section of the exam for this year’s A2 students, as well as the entire speaking exam for the AS students. This meant that every week we would do a “debate club” in which the students would prepare the card beforehand and come to the club to share their own opinion. Afterwards, I would then show them my exemplar answers, which are all found on the presentation that I have uploaded. This is one way the resource can be used, but in reality it could be the basis of so many other classes as well and of course, be useful to a lot of language assistants. There are more cards that are found in both the AS and A2 exams, as I wanted the Year 12 and 13 students to benefit from the debate classes equally, but I still did make sure to include many cards on solely A2 topics as well. The exemplar answers contain lots of high-level grammatical structures, opinion phrases, interesting reasonings and more up-to-date statistics/examples that the students can use to justify their opinions. The cards are not organised by topic.
