SCHEME OF WORK FOR EDEXCEL SPANISH AS AND A2 EXAMINATIONS

When planning a Spanish Scheme of Work, teachers should bear in mind that those inspecting Modern Foreign Languages at post-16 are

encouraged to concentrate on the extent to which students:

• Demonstrate their understanding of material written in the foreign language, drawn from a wide range of everyday, topical, technical, business, literary, social and historical sources, and can respond appropriately to it.

• Understand language spoken at speed on radio, television, cassette or film, by native speakers or others on a variety of themes and in a range of styles.

• Can translate or interpret from one language to another effectively, accurately and idiomatically.

• Speak the language accurately, confidently and fluently, and react spontaneously to complex questions and unfamiliar language.

• Speak with good pronunciation and intonation and use different registers appropriate to the context of the discussion or dialogue.

• Engage readily in conversation, discussion or debate, and present, develop or sustain a logical argument in the foreign language, while taking account of the views of others.

• Show extensive knowledge of the countries, customs and culture of the people whose language they are learning.

• Have detailed knowledge and understanding of the themes and topics they have studied and the issues facing contemporary society.

• Have developed mature and well-informed views on topical or controversial issues, and can present these in a logical, coherent and accurate way in speech or writing.

• Write accurately in a variety of styles appropriate to context, using an increasingly wide range of complex, sophisticated and topic-specific language.

• Demonstrate a high level of grammatical accuracy.

|Edexcel Scheme of Work for GCE Spanish A2 (Year 13) – based on two terms (26 weeks), with the remaining time to be used for examination techniques and tips, revision, practice, and the A2 examinations. |

| |

|Throughout Term 1 of Year 13, teachers should work with students on the following: |

|• Revision of structures and vocabulary learned at AS |

|• Further development of grammar, syntax and lexis at an advanced level |

|• Selection of topics for presentation in Unit 3 and for research in Unit 4 |

|• Ongoing development of the skills of analysis and argument |

|• Practice in writing discursive and creative essays |

|• Practice in translating from and to the target language, with special emphasis on the latter |

|• Continuing to build up a bank of useful phrases and idioms |

|• Development of topics for presentation in Unit 3 and for research in Unit 4 |

|• Ongoing development of the skills of analysis and argument |

|• Further practice in writing discursive and creative essays |

|• Further practice in translating from and to the target language, with special emphasis on the latter |

|• Encourage and insist on the use of the target language in class (with the possible exception of grammar classes) |

| |

|Throughout Term 2 of Year 13, teachers should work with students on the following: |

| |

|Examination practice |

|Past papers |

|Further developing and enhancing of all skills, ensuring that the grammatical structures laid down in the A2 grammar lists have been understood, learned and practised |

|Specific essay writing practice for the Research Based, creative and discursive essays. |

| |

|Throughout Term 3 of Year 13, teachers should work with students to ensure that they are prepared in all aspects of the specification. |

| |

|Exemplar activities given throughout are indicative only and may be used to supplement the tasks suggested within the textbook. Teachers should bear in mind the need to ensure that students not only gain knowledge and |

|understanding but also that they develop the ability to evaluate and to express opinions in spoken and written form. Activities might include the following: Surveys; debates; reviews; reports; blogs; posters; |

|brochures; grids; letters; emails; essay introductions; essay conclusions; full essays; and dialogues. Students should be given constant practice in the art of translation, with particular reference to translating from|

|English into Spanish. |

| |

|The following scheme of work assumes that students begin their A2 programme at the end of their first year of study once they have completed their AS examinations. It has been designed to introduce students to a |

|significant period in Spanish History in preparation for one of the four aspects of the Research based essay element of Unit 4 through Literature and the Arts, another Topic Area – an important part of the A2 |

|specification. This introduction to the new A2 could equally be used at the start of the Autumn Term. The year is then divided into the study of a chosen work of Literature (this could be a film or novel) and a chosen|

|region. Students are given the choice to research their own book, play, film and region but are obliged to complete the tasks relating to the different aspects as we cover them in class (eg: a description of the main |

|themes; the style of language used) relating to their chosen work of art or region. Social themes are covered in the scheme of work through our on-going study of issues. |

| |

|In addition, to help students keep up-to-date, each week a volunteer student will research and present, at the start of the oral class, a piece of news (National or International Event), followed by questions and a |

|short discussion from all students. He or she will then type a summary of the report and email to me. The reports will be collated and a newspaper per term will be produced and distributed amongst all students. This |

|has not been included in the scheme below but we call it “la noticia de la semana” and the paper “Las noticias del mundo”. |

| |

|Students complete one piece of written homework each week which is divided equally between translations, creative/discursive essays and a Research-based essay. Some titles have been added as suggestions. Also, |

|students will carry out research each week on their chosen or class-based topic for Unit 4, together with grammar practices and topic-based vocabulary. |
