Sample of work- Letter

I am particularly proud of this sample of work. It comes from a learner that has only started the lessons in September, one hour per week. The learner is 15 years old, bilingual (Portuguese/English), and currently home educating and preparing for taking GCSEs in June 2018. It is the first time the student is taking Spanish lessons and started as a complete beginner.

What I really like in the letter shown below is the accuracy. The language is appropriate for the situation and purpose of communication. The learner uses what learns in other subjects (i.e. English lessons) and applies this confidently. 


Tarea: Completa la carta.
Paco, un estudiante de español, va a pasar unos días en tu casa.

!Hola, Paco!

Muchas gracias por tu carta. Me alegra saber que vienes a mi casa el próximo verano.
Mi familia es pequeña, somos tres. Mi madre que se llama Toñi: es rubia y ella tiene el ojos azules, es muy alta y usa gafas. Mi Padre que se llama Pedro: tiene el pelo oscuro y rizado también usa gafas y tiene ojos oscuros.

Esperamos conocerte en el próximo verano.

Hasta pronto,

What is Skype education? A free and easy way for teachers to open up their classroom. Meet new people, talk to experts, share ideas and create amazing learning experiences with teachers from around the world. MY EXPERIENCE Last year I was invited to teach Spanish to a grade 12 class (18-19 years old) in a High school in Texas via skype from my home in London. My aim with this project was to create  a list of do's in collaboration with a classteacher. This is what we came up with, our list of Do's:  1. share a collaborative doc that you can access at anytime. 2. take your time to test video and audio. 3. start sessions with a short introductory game or iceb...

2013-2014 Academic Year and the beauty of Blended Learning

During 2013/14 academic year I have been supporting students with their Spanish GCSE, A-Levels and IB ab initio exams. In addition, I am now accredited as an examiner for DELE levels B1/B2 by Instituto Cervantes to prepare and assess students for their DELE exams. There are so many differences on the way these exams are set and assessed and the resources available for tutors for preparing that it is imperative for all teachers to get know in great detail what is at stake. DELE It seems clear that DELE exams are the hardest for a tutor to help preparing mainly because there are no past papers available. This material is being destroyed after every entry.  Also, time restrictions, for the speaking test the students have only a few minutes before the exam to prepare the answers for the questions.
