Subject Overview 2018 – 2019
Department Name: Spanish
Head of Department: Mr O Cayuela-Abenoza
Subject Teachers: Ms R Goldsmith
Accommodation and Resources: Rooms 71, 72, 73, 74
We are teaching in 2 classrooms and 1 lesson
per fortnight in a Computer room to allow
students to learn to type in Spanish using
accents and the letter ñ. We use Linguascope in
all years to consolidate vocabulary and gain
confidence using Spanish.
We chose AQA as our examining board and we
subscribe yearly to ¡Viva! From Pearson for KS3
and KS4. I am in the process of including year 7
if the department budget’s constrictions allows
it.
For KS4 we have AQA GCSE Foundation and
Higher materials and a very useful Grammar
and Translation book.
All of the textbooks include access to an
interactive book that can be used on the
interactive whiteboards. They include exercises
to cover the four key skills when learning a
language: speaking, listening, reading and
writing.
