A Level
Spanish resources for A Level
Comberton opened a new sixth form in September 2011 and I began teaching A Level Spanish for the first time since 1999. I greatly enjoyed preparing resources for teaching A/S and am now working on A2 for this year. I share teaching with a colleague so the materials uploaded here reflect the aspects of the course I am currently responsible for.
Speaking activities
Building on the activities for developing spontaneous speaking regularly within the classroom, here are a few starter activities that can be introduced and recycled several times to build students' capacity for improvisation within activities that are open, yet structured.
