Here, we aim to prepare students for communicating and interacting clearly and coherently in Spanish, narrating events and exchanging opinions while applying properly the grammar structures and making a creative use of them

Likewise, lessons will be focused on developing essay writing skills and translation, where students will be provided with tips and feedback on their writing, as well as a strong grammar base and A* vocabulary and structures.

The materials and learning and teaching approach employed to tackle the Speaking unit will be focused on developing confidence, fluency and accuracy when participating in a role-play, a photo card discussion and a natural conversation.
