Summer Examinations

To provide support and encourage good revision practice, students have been given a range of booklets covering each skill: a Listening booklet containing access codes to the audio files in Pearson Active Learn; a Reading booklet; a Writing and Translation booklet; a Conversation booklet full of sample conversation questions with a breakdown of the 5 themes and their associated topics; a Sentence Builder booklet, and a Tenses booklet. To better help students to understand how to succeed in the exam they are also provided with the mark scheme for Papers 2 and 4.

Students are encouraged to focus on individual topics during each revision session and ensure their revision is active and focused predominantly on retrieval. This means creating revision resources such as tenses posters, flash cards, listening to Spanish via media clips, film, and pod casts, and speaking out loud in Spanish to practise their conversation topics. Students should then use their revision workbook, as well as accessing tasks and vocabulary through online resources such as Quizlet, BBC Bitesize and Active Learn.

Each week, homework will be set on “Show My Homework”. There will be a weekly set of vocabulary to learn for a test in class the following week. This vocabulary will be assigned to the students on Quizlet to complete the required vocabulary practice for that week and complete the online test in preparation for the vocabulary test in lesson.
