A-Level Spanish (IRP) Planning

This PowerPoint booklet provides a comprehensive guide to the A-Level Spanish Individual Research Project (IRP), which forms the second part of the speaking exam. It is designed to support students through every stage of the IRP, from choosing a suitable topic to preparing for the presentation and follow-up discussion.

The resource explains the exam format clearly, including the two-minute presentation and the 9–10 minute discussion, and summarises official AQA and ALCAB guidance on topic selection and suitability. It includes structured planning pages, example research titles, step-by-step checklists, and examiner-focused prompts to help students develop analysis, evaluation, and well-justified opinions.

Ideal for independent study, revision, or guided classroom use, this booklet helps students organise their research, anticipate exam questions, and prepare confident, high-level spoken responses. Suitable for Year 12 and Year 13 A-Level Spanish students.
