Oxford Home Schooling’s Spanish IGCSE course
Syllabus
Oxford Home Schooling’s Spanish IGCSE course is designed to prepare students for the Edexcel IGCSE in Spanish (4SP0) for examination in June 2012 or later years.
Assessment
Assessment is by two written examinations. Paper 1 (Listening) lasts 35 minutes and Paper 2 (Reading and Writing) lasts 1 hour 30 minutes.
Students can also be entered for the optional speaking examination. This speaking examination, Paper 3, will be assessed separately from Paper 1 and Paper 2. The grade awarded for this optional assessment will be reported separately on the student’s final certificate.
Course Structure
The OHS course is designed to match the Edexcel 4SP0 specification and is divided into five modules, as follows:
- About me
- Day to day life
- Holidays and travel
- Modern life
- Speaking and listening skills
There is also a CD designed to support you in your oral and aural skills.
The Oxford Home Schooling course is designed for students tackling the IGCSE Spanish examinations set by Edexcel. The IGCSE Spanish course is not designed for complete beginners; it assumes that you have some experience of the Spanish language, probably a basic knowledge from school days. Don’t worry, however, if this was some time ago! The first few lessons of the course are designed to remind you of the basic “building blocks” of the Spanish language and to prepare you for the IGCSE-style exercises in the rest of the course.
As well as preparation for the IGCSE Spanish exams, this course also aims to give you experience and confidence in a wide variety of Spanish conversational situations. Edexcel also set an oral (speaking) exam (Paper 3) but this is optional and graded separately.
