NVQ Spanish
NVQ Spanish Level 2 Resources
I bought the ilanguages Scheme of Work and materials for this course. This is available to purchase from their website. Teaching the course for the first time last year and in addition, having a mixed age class of adults and Y10-11 students, I made some additional materials. I created a mixture of IWB and PowerPoint files to use with the class. The class had good access to computers, and there are therefore quite a few activities for independent vocabulary learning and consolidation. I used Quizlet for these and they can also be used for homework. Quizlet is free and the NVQ activities I made on it are available to all. If you type in ‘NVQ’ into the search box, it pulls up all those I made. Finally, as a department we subscribed to Vocab Express. All of our classes benefit from this excellent online learning resource, where an element of competition between the adult and student learners has encouraged a lot of additional learning outside the classroom.
The table below has the resources organised according to the weeks when they are used, in addition to the learning focus or topic. This schedule allowed me to complete the teaching of Level 2 NVQ by Easter of Y11. All of the cohort (including the adults!) achieved a 'B' grade equivalent in all 4 skills in summer 2012. Whilst many schools will now no longer be offering NVQ (it does not contribute to Ebacc measure, nor will it have GCSE equivalence from teaching 2013 onwards), some of these resources overlap with aspects of KS3 and GCSE courses and may have a more general usefulness there.
