ATLP Spanish Curriculum – Year 8.  Autumn Term:

Narrative for this unit of work 

 

Following on from their ‘exchange trip’ to Malaga, students and their families are now moving to Barcelona  in Spain.   During this unit of work, they will learn language to be able to

– understand what different regions in Spain have to offer

– understand descriptions about Barcelona and how to get around the city

– choose a place to live with their family and subsequently arrange trips out and about in their new hometown.
Students will consolidate their learning by writing home to their friends to talk about what they have done.

 

Oak National Academy Lessons – KS3 Spanish

The year 7 and 8 Spanish lessons on the Oak National academy website follow the NCELP year 7 / year 8 scheme of learning.  This scheme of learning places phonics, vocabulary and explicit grammar teaching at its core without any reference to a specific theme.   There are no lessons which directly match the thematic content of the ATLP Yr 7 Spanish curriculum.  However, there are a number of year 7 Spanish lessons which introduce and offer structured practice in the grammatical concepts introduced within the ATLP scheme of learning.  These lessons will feel different in their approach to the format of ATLP lessons but they will offer structured practice of core grammatical concepts giving students an opportunity to reinforce and at times extend their understanding whilst also seeing how the language they have learnt in school can be applied in other contexts.  These lessons will need to be supplemented with KO and retrieval grid work.
