3rd October 2016 Dear Parent/Carer We are starting to prepare the speaking controlled assessment this week in Spanish. The topic is holidays. Students have to prepare answers to a number of bullet points during lesson time. Students are allowed to use texts, notes and exercises from lessons. They need to prepare 4.5 minutes total. I have given students examples of previous controlled assessments and the audio files can be accessed here: In order to be prepared, students can practise their pronunciation using the P: / MFL/GCSE Spanish / GCSE Spanish audio files vocabulary/ Module 1 audio files HOLIDAY or they can use memrise.com and find the holiday section in the specification vocabulary. Last year, I gave each student an invitation to be able to join the site. Here is a snap shot: The exam will take place on Monday 10th October and Wednesday 12th October. I will give each student the date / time and place. It would also be a good idea to attend the GCSE Spanish club on Thursdays from 3.15pm till 3.45pm to be fully prepared. We will be practising pronunciation, grammar and opinions. Kind regards Mrs M Philbin
