At KS3 we have developed a curriculum which develops confidence, builds on KS2 competencies of language learning and embeds grammatical and linguistic competence.
The KS3 curriculum is focused on the topics of introducing yourself and family, free time, school, where I live and holidays. These topics cover the main National Curriculum aims and students are taught to:
• identify and use tenses or other structures which convey the present, past and future, as appropriate to the language being studied
• use and manipulate a variety of key grammatical structures and patterns, including voices and moods, as appropriate
• develop and use a wide-ranging and deepening vocabulary that goes beyond their immediate needs and interests, allowing them to give and justify opinions and take part in discussion about wider issues
• use accurate grammar, spelling and punctuation
• listen to a variety of forms of spoken language, to obtain information and respond appropriately
• transcribe words and short sentences that they hear, with increasing accuracy
• initiate and develop conversations, coping with unfamiliar language and unexpected responses, making use of important social conventions such as formal modes of address
• express and develop ideas clearly and with increasing accuracy, both orally and in writing
• speak coherently and confidently, with increasingly accurate pronunciation and intonation
• read and show comprehension of original and adapted materials from a range of different sources, understanding the purpose, important ideas and details, and provide an accurate English translation of short, suitable material
• read literary texts in the language [such as stories, songs, poems and letters], to stimulate ideas, develop creative expression and expand understanding of the language and culture
• write prose using an increasingly wide range of grammar and vocabulary, write creatively to express their own ideas and opinions, and translate short written text accurately into the foreign language.
All students at KS3 are supported to revisit content covered through Conti style lessons, through personalised areas for improvement and further independent areas of study.
Assessment:
Assessment in Spanish aims to capture the progress that students are making at three points throughout the academic year. This enables teachers to know which topics or aspects of topics to re-teach, which were not grasped the first time. Teachers can identify gaps in student learning and, through effective feedback, students can resolve misconceptions and swiftly develop further knowledge and skills.
