Espanol-en-directo

by Maria-Jesus Cumming

Published 11 February 1993
This is a revised revision course for GCSE or Standard Grade Spanish, which has been expanded to meet National Curriculum criteria. It is designed for teachers helping pupils studying Spanish at Key Stages 3 and/or 4 and offers material in line with the Attainment Targets - listening, speaking, reading and writing. The material also encompasses the seven National Curriculum areas of experience, and the tasks in each unit of the pupil's book have been adapted and graded according to National Curriculum levels 3 to 8. New tasks have been added in this revised edition. All the tasks are constructed in such a way that pupils must respond in the target language in accordance with National Curriculum criteria, although the rubrics are in English so that pupils can use the material independently for practice, homework or revision. The language work is based on recorded material - some of which are extracts, advertisements, timetables, letters and other authentic documents.
This teacher's resource book offers guidelines on how to make the best use of the course in the context of the National Curriculum, including information on assessment, the use of information technology and the use of the target language. This book also includes useful matrices showing how the new edition of "Espanol en Directo!" covers the National Curriculum areas of experience and levels of attainment, as well as selected answers and transcripts to the cassette tapes which also form part of this course.
