Podcasts for GCSE Spanish AQA

-"¿Qué pasa podcast?" is a series of 22 podcasts with accompanying transcripts, grammar and exam-like activities for AQA GCSE Spanish Higher Tier lessons. This resource contains an entertaining story linked to 22 podcasts and worksheets with activities, such as “Sentence Builders” and AQA exam-like exercises. The study guide can be used for self-study as it has the answers at the end or by non specialist teachers.

-“¿Qué pasa, podcast? Soy rapero y YouTubero”, is a comprehensive practical study guide for AQA GCSE Spanish that will help your students to succeed in their exams. It uses humour and a fresh engaging story, written in the first person from the point of view of a 15 year old boy called Alex. Alex lives in England but he is bilingual in English and in Spanish. He spends every summer at his grandparent´s house in San Sebastian, Northern Spain. There, he learns about Spanish culture, food and festivals, before coming back to school in England.

-The podcasts have been written to facilitate practice and learning of the AQA Spanish GCSE syllabus. The resource is divided into 22 podcasts with follow-up exam practice questions, plus there is a final worksheet on characterisation, which acts as a bridge to the A level syllabus.
-The students can listen to the podcasts conveniently while they are on the go and they can listen to them while reading the transcripts and before doing the GCSE exam-like questions.

-Each podcast includes at least one GCSE Spanish topic and overall the resource covers all the main GCSE AQA topics. To help students learn vocabulary relevant to the GCSE topics, the podcasts include words from the AQA vocabulary list.

• In addition, each podcast has one or more grammar teaching points. A table with a list of both the GCSE topics and the grammar points used in this booklet can be found on pages 6 and 7. Each podcast has around 150 words. The resource can be used in different ways: to complement your teaching, as a revision booklet, for independent study, to set homework or for cover lessons.

• This resource can be differentiated. For lower level students, we suggest that you use the texts as reading exercises, whilst higher level students, can listen to the podcast first and attempt to answer the questions before reading the text. The music used in the podcasts has been written by my 15 year old son, whose artistic name is Lil Reddy, you can check out his YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLuRXSjGyHPXtVhLdp7X3KQ
