I created this ppt to introduce the topic of pets and animals. It worked really well with my students and I hope it helps you too.

A comprehensive list of useful linking words. The first document does not have the meanings so teachers can use them in different ways (group translation, competition, dictionary or internet search, etc.). The second one has translations.

A reading comprehension exercise based on the situation of immigration in Spain in 2019 with a graph, an article sourced from ABC newspaper and exercises (one speaking, two reading).

One of the most popular current songs among Spanish teens, great for the preterite tense. It includes a good few pre-listening activities to make sure the students make the most out of it semantically, syntactically and grammatically. I hope your students enjoy it too!

Listening activity which actually reflects the real situation nowadays in Spain (2018-2019). Students watch a video (whole class or individually) and answer the questions (multiple choice, short answer, etc.) This activity is ideally followed by the reading comprehension activity that goes with it (uploaded separately). I use it to introduce the topic.

Pair work: Listening, speaking, reading and writing exercises to be completed in pairs (or individually if you prefer) based around the fact that the Spanish who emigrated due to the recession started coming back in 2018.

This resource covers all four skills well and presents the topic of volunteering: types of volunteering, what makes a good volunteer, etc

It includes group discussion and work, video and questions, speaking exercise, and lots of sample sentences. the cards on slides seven, eight and eleven need to be printed.

I did not quite realise how many of my students do enjoy listening to Spanish songs for the sake of learning Spanish! So I decided to do some guided work on a trendy little feel-good song to cheer them up after what has been a very challenging term. I hope it may be of use for someone else.
