Conditional tense practice with the topic of ‘mi ciudad’. Students practise this tense and write what they would improve in their town.
Could be used as homework.
This is an A Level vocabulary list based on the second topic in theme 1 (Edexcel specification). It is not a long one, just a few words divided in three categories: adjectives, nouns and verbs. There are also some translations into English and into Spanish so that students can put those words into practice.
It can be used as homework or as support for less able or disorganised students.
Looking for different ways to help students, I saw on Twitter the idea of a ladder reflecting elements needed for grades.
It starts with an easy present tense sentence and finishes with a sentence which includes an indirect object pronoun.
It can be used at the start of a lesson, to test how much students know on a particular subject or can be given as homework for students to work independently.
Content is based on Pearson Edexcel’s GCSE theme 1:
Who am I? (pages 1-7) = Relationships; when I was younger; what my friends and family are like; what makes a good friend; interests; socialising with friends and family; role models
Daily life (pages 8-11) = Customs and everyday life; food and drink; shopping; social media and technology (use of, advantages and disadvantages)
Cultural life (pages 12-16) = Celebrations and festivals; reading; music; sport; film and television
Sample on Food and drink can be found here: /teaching-resource/gcse-vocabulary-and-grammar-training-food-and-drink-12061651
Two sample bullet points (not full tasks) for each GCSE theme and sample answers to analyse all the good vocabulary and structures to include. I’ve created a worksheet for students and a ppt (with answers) to deliver the lesson in class.

An activity to focus on key language and structures in the three presentations.

Assessment criteria for the conversation part of the speaking for students to understand and be able to use it.

As part of Theme 1 (La evolución de la sociedad española) in the Edexcel scheme of work, I created this two-hour lesson to discuss the role of grandparents.
Plenty of authentic materials: a reading, a listening (created from a podcast seen in RTVE) and a translation (from El PaÃs).
A lesson after which students will be able to describe what an ideal friend is.
All exercises are explained in each slide with great detail.
Writing is the main skill practised.
This worksheet includes:
10 short paragraphs about why learning another language is important
5 follow-up exercises with instructions in Spanish to test students’ reading skills and one exercise to allow students to write their own opinion about why learning a language is important, using the vocabulary seen.
This resource explores the reasons behind Spain’s Civil War. There’s information on the Second Republic (reforms), violence after the elections in 1936 and Mola’s Golpe de Estado.
Listening, reading and translation skills and some questions for students to reflect on and give their opinion in speaking.
