GCSE Spanish revision resources

I have collected a list of possible questions for the General Conversation of the Speaking assessment. I have followed the new AQA specification

Includes:
*breakdown of exam format
*Rough idea of what to include for each grade (I've developed this success criteria in line with the AQA mark scheme from the specification matierial)
* 2 options (just like the exam) for the 16 marker and 32 marker, room for corrections and then a response task
* Breakdown of the translation section, top tips for success in that section, difficult translation which includes prepositions of place (after mocks, this is what the cohort most lost marks on),
reflection sheet at the end, too :)

I created these specimen cards and a mark scheme for pupils to peer-assess each other while getting used to the role play format. They are based on the AQA exam. They are very much simplified, so if your pupils are working at a higher level or are more used to the format, I would recommend removing any English from the specimen card and making the questions more appropriately open-ended than mine are.

Please do let me know about any mistakes - Spanish is not my specialism!

This sheet was developed to facilitate marking during mock speaking exams for GCSE languages.
It turned out to be a true time saving resource.
It's best printed side by side on A3 paper.
It was developed for AQA marking scheme.

This booklet contains twenty four questions that follow the format of the 90-word questions in the new Spanish GCSE writing exam. They cover all three themes of the AQA specification, but can be easily adapted to other exam boards. There are eight questions for each theme, and they can be used in lessons, but also as an easy way to set useful homework activities for the students.
All questions include four bullet points that the students are prompted to cover, and they explicitly require them to include references to three time frames and opinions (as per the AQA mark scheme). When possible, one of the bullet points starts with 'qué hiciste', a question which appears in many of the AQA samples and that some students often fail to understand.

Two tier reading assessment with questions created in the style of the AQA Spanish 1-9 specimen paper

I have created this practice GCSE Foundation Reading paper, using the same themes and topics as those included in the AQA and Edexcel examinations.

**This paper is shorter than the standard GCSE paper, with 5 questions, totalling 20 marks**

Instructions are included on the front cover and questions are laid out in a similar style to genuine papers. The paper is in font 16, so you can print the papers on A5 for students, saving on photocopying.

Topics included are,

Self and Family
Holidays (past tense)
School
Environment - recycling etc


The Teacher Answers are provided on the final page, so make sure you don't print this with the paper for students!

I have a Higher Tier version that I have just created, but still need to complete the Answer Sheet. It will be uploaded soon.

All images are provided by openclipart.org.

I hope this paper serves as a useful revision and practice tool, for your students, before their exam in a couple of weeks' time.

This is a collection of typical questions that might be appropriate for use in the General Conversation section of the AQA GCSE Spanish exam-2016 spec. They cover the 3 main themes and their subthemes.

I use this as revision with my year eleven classes. I let them listen to the video three or four times as they do speak quite quickly but I think it helps them get into the mind-set for their exam as I've tried to make the questions exam-style.

There are 3 booklets, divided by AQA's themes, with spaces for students to prepare answers for the General Conversation part of the Speaking assessment. The assessment criteria is shown and there is space for a draft answer, teacher comment and then a final answer. Students can also plan questions to ask and read a few tips for the Speaking exam.

This document was created for my Year 10 and Year 11 students to practise further their vocabulary on the topic of new technologies (the internet, social networks, etc.). It gave them more confidence in their writing skills. It can be followed up with some English to Spanish translations and a free writing activity in class.

These are some ideas for preparing answers to oral questions for theme 1 of the general conversation, focusing on theme 1 topic 4: Customs and festivals in Spanish-speaking countries/communities.

GCSE Spanish AQA - Theme 1- Summary of each topic in booklet form based on Theme 1 of Kerboodle textbook. Covers vocab/ grammar/ misconceptions/ and suggested Qu & A. 'Credit Card' refers to pupils' opportunity to pick out words they want to 'own' for themselves.

This is a resource I have put together for my Y11 preparing for the new spec GCSE (specifically EdExcel).
The slides are meant to be printed off double sided & laminated to make cards that can be re-used again and again for learning & revision purposes.
Slides 1 &2 make a speaking mat that students can use to revise from or to have beside them while they work on role plays/photos/general discussion.
I based the cards on the general conversation questions that could come up for each topic & on the other side of each one are potential 'follow up' questions that could be asked to each initial Q. (As has been stated in meetings about the speaking exam, students are expected to have a fluid conversation which all links together neatly).
I hope it helps.

Practice/revision lesson focusing on the translation into Spanish task on the writing paper of the new GCSE Spanish exam. The texts used are taken from the Edexcel translation booklet. The focus is really on higher, although there is also a foundation task.

This is just a Spanish version of the French game I uploaded. You can edit it to suit your groups. All they need are counters and dice. Throw the die and move forward and give the Spanish. If they cannot answer they move back three spaces. First to finish wins. Please let me know if you spot any mistakes.

great revision tool. I use an infinitive random selector between tasks. (AFL MWB before moving on to next tense)
Each student is given a tense written en MWB face down at the begining of the lesson (they will be responsible for the tense for the 2 first tasks)
You might want to give them a chance to discuss their answer before showing answers (task one / talk for learning)

progression from identifying tenses to applying in context (translation)
Final exercise is a speaking task. Ideally students would be given time to use skills aquired in translation exercise to prepare the speaking before being given opportunities to answer the questions.
This is a lesson designed for a double period

GCSE revision. I created this document with differentiated and enjoyable activities to revise present, imperfect, preterite, future and conditional tenses and endings. Also, with an exercise to use verbs in context and complete sentences. Mainly to do in pairs or small groups so the students learn together.

A revision booklet covering all the topics for Year 10 Spanish (new spec). The resource includes grammar and vocabulary based activities, and allows pupils to revise key skills: grammar, translation, reading, writing and listening. For the listening activities, I just spoke Spanish aloud to the class & made my own transcript.
