Elementary Spanish Term 1

About this course

The course develops Spanish communication across speaking, listening, reading and writing. Learners practise expressing plans and intentions, discussing recent events, giving opinions, and handling food shopping and restaurant situations. Teaching combines individual tasks, role-plays, pair and small-group work, games, and listening activities focused on understanding the gist or key information.
