Pupil Groupings Pupils are taught in mixed ability groups except for those who have particular special needs.
What is taught
All pupils study the same topics, based on the standard text book, 'Aventura 1'. Topic A covers 'Introductions and
school', topic B deals with 'Family, nationality, animals and birthday'. Topic C is about 'time, food and drink' while topic
D is on 'likes, dislikes, leisure and clothes'.
Homework
Homework is intended to occupy approximately 30 minutes per week. This could involve learning for a topic assessment,
preparing for a speaking assessment or a written task.
How progress is assessed
Four tests at the end of each unit address the four Key Skill areas : listening, speaking, reading and writing. Each test is
marked out of 10. Each pupil will have a record of their test marks on the inside cover of their exercise book.
