This resource contains four reading and speaking activities to introduce key vocabulary and concepts about the topic sexism and feminism (El machismo y el feminismo) within the Equal rights sub theme of the AQA A Level specification. The first activity has 16 statements and the students are expected to decide to what extend they agree with them. The second activity contains 20 examples of sexist behaviour for the students to decide whether they have witnessed or engaged in that kind of behaviour themselves, followed by a speaking activity to defend/criticise those behaviours. The third activity is a discussion card based on a cartoon, and the final activity is a quiz/questionnaire for students to reflect on how sexist (or not) they are.

A booklet with eight 150-word questions to revise the theme of Local, national, international and global areas of interest of the new Spanish GCSE exam. There are two questions for each of the topics in Theme Two (Home, town, neighbourhood and region, social issues, global isues and travel and tourism ). Each of the questions contains two bullet points that the students are expected to cover; the bullet points are written to resemble the ones found in the 2018 paper and those in the sample questions provided by AQA. At least one of the bullet points in each question prompts the students to refer to either the past or the future, and several questions ask the students to write their “recommendations”. Finally, the booklet also contains a copy of the mark scheme for the 150 word question and an overview of the themes and topics. This resource can be used as part of everyday teaching, as end of unit assessment, for revision purposes and it is an easy way of setting useful homework.

This resource includes a lot of information about family life in Spain, followed by a series of questions for the students to show their understanding of the topics covered. The resource is written in English and it is meant to improve the students’ cultural awareness. It is aimed at GCSE students, but it can also be used with A Level students as a quick introduction to the sub-theme Traditional and modern values. Finally, it is ideal to set cover work.

A series of nineteen starter activities that can be used in the run-up to Christmas in Spanish Lessons. They are targeted at GCSE students, but they can also be used with A Level as quick activities, and some of them would be suitable or easily adaptable for KS3 students. The activities include games, quizzes, writing frames, a role play, a photo card and even a template to write a letter to the Wise Men.

This resource is ideal to use with your GCSE classes in the run up to Christmas. It contains a series of activities (designed to be used as starters, but some of them could take longer chunks of the lesson,and several of them could be grouped together to take a full lesson) organised as an advent calendar in which the sweet treats have been replaced by much-more-satisfying Spanish activities. There are 23 activities altogether (one for each day from the 1st to the 23th of December), with a Christmas Song to finish off the calendar on the 24th. The activities are designed for GCSE students, but a lot of them can be used (or easily adapted to be used with) KS3 or A Level students as well. All activities are based on Christmas and Christmas traditions in Spain and the majority of them are supported by a printable worksheet (apart from a couple of slides for which the worksheet was not necessary). The activities cover a wide range of vocabulary and structures (with particular emphasis on using “voy a”, “me gustaría” and similar structures to talk about the immediate future), and there’s a succession of games (battleship, game with numbers), reading (correct the mistakes, draw a Nativity scene following the description provided, who is it, and two general knowledge quizzes), speaking (role play, photo card, be nice to your partner) and writing (with several writing frames). It even includes a template to write a letter to the three Wise Men (who reply to the students a few slides later with instructions on what they need to do to make sure they receive any Christmas presents at all!). A useful and (hopefully) fun resource for the festive season. ¡Feliz Navidad!

This set contains 8 photo cards (based on the GCSE MFL speaking exam) to encourage students to talk about the topic of food. Each card contains three foundation questions (asking to describe the photograph, encouraging the students to talk about their habits and to express their opinions, using mainly the present tense), and two higher, more demanding questions. The final card contains five foundation and five higher questions.

This is a board game to get English as a Foreign Language to practise their speaking (and mediation) skills. It is based on games such as Snakes and Ladders, but since I have designed the board, I have explained all the peculiarities in the instructions. Each time the players roll the dice, they will have to complete a speaking, mediation (explain a graph) or grammar task. The different tasks are: making a speech on a specific topic. having a discussion with a partner on a specific topic. answering a question. taking part in a role play with a partner. correcting a common mistake in a sentence. If the player completes the task correctly they can stay in the box where they’ve landed. If they don’t, they’ll have to go back. All the resources needed to play the game are included: 24 grammar cards, 24 discussion cards, 24 question cards, 12 role play cards and 12 graph cards. There are a few special boxed to keep the game more exciting: the lift, that helps the players move forward or backwards a few places; the dice, which allows them to roll the dice again; the field, where they relax for a turn, and the grim reaper, which takes them back to the starting point. The game is designed for B2 students, but can be easily adapted for other levels. EDIT: PLEASE IGNORE THE AWFUL PREVIEWS, THE ACTUAL FILES LOOK FINE, AS SHOWN BY THE COVER PICTURE, A SCREEN CAPTURE OF THE BOARD.

A series of short vocabulary activities to revise a variety of GCSE topics. They can also be used individually as quick starter activities. Easily adaptable.

Two lessons to prepare Key Stage 3 students to write about their favourite sport. Based on Harry Potter's quidditch, it focuses on opinions, comparisons and tenses, with a translation that the students then use as a template to write their own paragraphs. It also includes a link to a video in French of a quidditch match for those students not acquainted with Harry Potter. Update: I have now included a PowerPoint version of the main file, converted from the original Notebook file. I recommend whenever possible to use the original version, as the file conversion has changed the layout of some slides and some features work less effectively on Power Point.

This is a game designed to revise for the Spanish GCSE. It is meant to play as a class and if is based on snakes and ladders. Students will choose a counter and roll the dice, and they will have to do different things depending on where they land: If they land in a box where there is a phrase in English, they have to translate it into Spanish. If they land on a question mark, the teacher will ask them a question in Spanish (a set of sample questions is also included). If they land on an exclamation mark, the teacher will ask them to do an action (e.g. "Tócate la nariz"). Twenty-five sample actions are included. If they land on the stairs, they go up or down to the other end, and if they land on the lift, do the same. The winner will be the first counter on the finish line. The template of the game can be easily adapted to revise specific topics.

All supported with 11 worksheets, including a writing frame summarising the whole topic. Update: I have now included a PowerPoint version of the main file, converted from the original Notebook file.
