G.C.S.E. Spanish Grammar Guide: AQA Theme 2, Holidays and Travel

This 114 page resource provides a thorough and stimulating way of helping your students acquire a sound knowledge of grammar which will help guide them towards greater independence in Spanish. It can be easily adapted for other G.C.S.E. topics. I first wrote this as a coursework guide when coursework was part of the GCSE syllabus. I hope you will find at least some parts of it useful when teaching the topic of holidays.

The resource features:

• Tried and tested materials which have resulted in high standards of written work and improved G.C.S.E. grades.
• Interesting and enjoyable language activities which systematically guide students through the essential language skills.
• Worksheets suitable for students of all abilities with lots of support in the way of subject specific vocabulary grids for students to stick into their exercise books for reference.
• Important vocabulary and appropriate grammar structures which are introduced gradually and purposefully and repeated throughout to enable students to acquire and retain the key language elements.
• Crystal clear explanations of grammar points, accompanied by lots of practice exercises which enable students to improve the quality and accuracy of their written work.
• Language practice that will enable students to develop their other language skills, i.e. in listening, reading and especially speaking as the activities encourage students to practise orally as well as to write.
• Photocopiable materials which are designed, wherever possible, to reduce the workload for teachers.
