COURSE TITLE: Spanish Improvers
VENUE: Coleford Community Centre NO OF SESSIONS: 8
DAY: Monday TIME: 10 - 12
COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES:
1 to be able to pronounce Spanish effectively and confidently
2 to use the target language in a train station, hiring a car and at a petrol station
3 to use the target language when shopping
4 to use the target language at a doctor’s and chemist’s
TARGET GROUP:
The group is made up of some learners who’ve been with me for one to two terms (Spanish for Beginners), a learner who completed a year with me two years ago and some others I’ve yet to meet and assess.
PRIOR KNOWLEDGE NEEDED:
Some Spanish – the course is not for complete beginners
ASSESSMENT DETAILS:
Assessment takes place throughout the course as the learners use new target language and practising previously learnt structures and vocab. Assessment methods include Q&A, listening to and observing the learners in open and closed conversation pairs, gapped handouts, listening and reading comprehension.
Voice recorder is used so that learners can hear themselves speaking and to record progress and achievement.
DIFFERENTIATION;
Some learners will need more support to learn and to build confidence. Others will be stretched with more complex structures and more vocab, using vary-levelled tasks activities such as answering questions after watching a video.
There are tasks set that all learners will achieve.
POSSIBLE PROGRESSION ROUTES:
RFDC runs two one year courses - Breakthrough if they have done one/two terms - Possibly preliminary if they completed a year.
