SCHEME OF WORK FOR EDEXCEL SPANISH AS AND A2 EXAMINATIONS

When planning a Spanish Scheme of Work, teachers should bear in mind that those inspecting Modern Foreign Languages at post-16 areencouraged to concentrate on the extent to which students:

• Demonstrate their understanding of material written in the foreign language, drawn from a wide range of everyday, topical, technical, business, literary, social and historical sources, and can respond appropriately to it.

• Understand language spoken at speed on radio, television, cassette or film, by native speakers or others on a variety of themes and in a range of styles.

• Can translate or interpret from one language to another effectively, accurately and idiomatically.• Speak the language accurately, confidently and fluently, and react spontaneously to complex questions and unfamiliar

language.• Speak with good pronunciation and intonation and use different registers appropriate to the context of the discussion or

dialogue.• Engage readily in conversation, discussion or debate, and present, develop or sustain a logical argument in the foreign

language, while taking account of the views of others.• Show extensive knowledge of the countries, customs and culture of the people whose language they are learning.• Have detailed knowledge and understanding of the themes and topics they have studied and the issues facing contemporary

society.• Have developed mature and well-informed views on topical or controversial issues, and can present these in a logical, coherent

and accurate way in speech or writing.• Write accurately in a variety of styles appropriate to context, using an increasingly wide range of complex, sophisticated and

topic-specific language.• Demonstrate a high level of grammatical accuracy.(Source - Adapted from Specification: http://www.edexcel.com/migrationdocuments/GCE%20New%20GCE/spec-gce-spanish.pdf,

Throughout Term 3 of Year 13, teachers should work with students to ensure that they are prepared in all aspects of the specification.

Exemplar activities given throughout are indicative only and may be used to supplement the tasks suggested within the textbook. Teachers should bear in mind the need to ensure that students not only gain knowledge and understanding but also that they develop the ability to evaluate and to express opinions in spoken and written form. Activities might include the following: Surveys; debates; reviews; reports; blogs; posters; brochures; grids; letters; emails; essay introductions; essay conclusions; full essays; and dialogues. Students should be given constant practice in the art of translation, with particular reference to translating from English into Spanish.

The following scheme of work assumes that students begin their A2 programme at the end of their first year of study once they have completed their AS examinations. It has been designed to introduce students to a significant period in Spanish History in preparation for one of the four aspects of the Research based essay element of Unit 4 through Literature and the Arts, another Topic Area – an important part of the A2 specification. This introduction to the new A2 could equally be used at the start of the Autumn Term. The year is then divided into the study of a chosen work of Literature (this could be a film or novel) and a chosen region. Students are given the choice to research their own book, play, film and region but are obliged to complete the tasks relating to the different aspects as we cover them in class (eg: a description of the main themes; the style of language used) relating to their chosen work of art or region. Social themes are covered in the scheme of work through our on-going study of issues.

In addition, to help students keep up-to-date, each week a volunteer student will research and present, at the start of the oral class, a piece of news (National or International Event), followed by questions and a short discussion from all students. He or she will then type a summary of the report and email to me. The reports will be collated and a newspaper per term will be produced and distributed amongst all students. This has not been included in the scheme below but we call it “la noticia de la semana” and the paper “Las noticias del mundo”.

Students complete one piece of written homework each week which is divided equally between translations,
