Word document with a passage from “La sombra del viento” by Carlos Ruiz Zafón and 10 questions to ask the students. I have used this to prepare a student for an interview in Cambridge. This is not from an actual interview.
From what I have read online, in the interviews for Spanish degrees at Cambridge, students are provided with a passage of a novel/book in Spanish and they have to analyse it for 10/15 minutes. After that, there is a conversation in Spanish with the interviewers to discuss it.
I am using this with a student and I thought it could be useful for others. It’s good to put the students in that situation before the interview to see how they handle it and give them some advice.
I think it’s similar for Spanish degrees at Oxford but I am not 100% sure.
A video to help the students write Spanish A-level essays. It includes the structure that the essay should have and the steps they should follow.
It was really useful for students in Y12 who didn’t know how to start writing the essays for A-level.
Useful for any essay titles: Volver, El laberinto del fauno, Cien años de soledad, etc.
