What do teachers say about this resource? (8199)
A very in-depth resource which would very much help any teacher to fast-track teach students in a year. I loved the content. This has obviously been prepared with a lot of thought and attention and the teacher will certainly appreciate this. I liked the clarity of the different tiers and the overall progress in the level.
It seems to include a variety of activities about the different topics that are required for GCSE. It is particularly useful that it includes listening activities, where students would hopefully be able to differentiate different accents. I like the fact that it includes some grammar activities, where students will have to demonstrate their knowledge of the language structure, as well as cultural knowledge not only of Spain, but also of other Spanish speaking countries, which is needed for GCSE.
I particularly liked the structure of the resource with preparation, lesson and homework materials provided for the pupil. In addition, it is extremely useful to have fully planned lessons rather than just an outline as this will save an enormous amount of time for teachers and, as it states in the pack, frees up more time for speaking activities which are often sorely lacking.
I found that the document is of high standard and that it complies with the course requirements as per AQA Fast Track scheme. There is good progression throughout the course with lots of increasingly more challenging activities, and at the end it focuses on tackling questions relating to the exam.
