This resource includes a ppt presentation I prepared to teach the new Edexcel International GCSE 9-1 for my Year 10 group. As the textbook isn’t great, I created some resources to combine with working on the textbook. What you will find on this ppt is: types of accommodation; facilities (using habia, tenia); adjectives to describe the accommodation & facilities (using era); location phrases (using estaba en); some authentic hotel reviews for students to work on positives and negatives; a listening activity (teacher led) based on Conti’s technique faulty echo; a speaking and a writing activity to put it all into practice. On my online shop you will find most of the textbook topics belonging to this spec.

This resource includes a ppt presentation I prepared to teach the new Edexcel International GCSE 9-1 for my Year 11 group.

A 60-slide ppt which covers the relevant language to teach Module 3.4 Durante el recreo from the Viva 1 textbook, and then extends on that by adding the unit from Mira 1 textbook, module 2.2: Que haces en clase? By the end of the topic, students not only will be able to talk about what they do at break, but also they will be able to talk about what they do in lessons. A nice thing to do if you have curriculum time for it.

Then, vocab is introduced for things you do in class, many of them recycled from Module 2 (Viva 1). It contains a range of activities to practise all skills, vocab tests and homework ideas. There are some present tense (regular) verbs activities as well to provide some extra practice.

A translation maze inspired on the language from pages 86 and 87 on the Viva 1 textbook, topic ‘como es tu casa o piso?’ (module 4.4). All instructions are on the resource, and should be displayed and explained to students before starting to play. Aim: to find your way out of the maze by shading a path of correct answers. You get out when your path connects the entrance with the exit boxes. If you don’t know this activity it has, in essence, the same principle as a bingo. It takes quite some time to run, as there are 18 different questions/rounds and children get very excited by shading the boxes and counting how many left they need to shade before they get out of the maze! The teacher should then check the answers (all included) of any child claiming to have got out of the maze: note they should be perfect or close to perfect translations to be able to call a winner. If you were to get through the 18 rounds and no one has managed to get out of the maze (unlikely), go back to question 1 and get them to translate the opposite sentence until someone can win. This activity tends to work wonders with any age group and is a nice alternative to bingo. It’s also easily editable - you might find the sentences I’ve used are too challenging for your class. If you like this resource, please leave a rating. On my profile you can find the same activity for Viva 2 - module 5.1 que tipo de casa prefieres? with vocabulary related to pages 104-105.
