A language has no tidy modules — but its grammar does. These ten mini-lessons teach the whole grammatical backbone of CCEA GCSE Spanish in sequence, from the building blocks to the higher-tier structures. Work through them in order: each one builds on the last.
Ten grammar mini-lessons — the graspable overview. Grammar drives the order of the course.
Theme vocabulary rides on top as drills and games, exercising each structure in context.
Nouns, gender, articles and adjective agreement.
Regular verbs, stem-changers and the core irregulars; ser vs estar.
Subject & reflexive pronouns; object pronouns (recognise at Foundation); negation; questions.
Near future (ir a), modals, gustar-type verbs, me gustaría.
The simple past for completed, specified events.
Present perfect; the imperfect (general imperfect recognise-only at Foundation); the pluperfect.
The future (recognise at Foundation); the conditional is Higher except me gustaría.
Comparatives, adverbs, prepositions, por vs para and the personal a.
Subjunctive, the passive (recognise only, both tiers), acabar de, seguir + gerund, desde hace.
The four assessment units (25% each), the controlled speaking assessment, translation both ways, and deducing unfamiliar vocabulary.
Built to the CCEA GCSE Spanish specification.
The course is organised around CCEA's three Contexts for Learning — Identity, Lifestyle and Culture; Local, National, International and Global Areas of Interest; and School Life, Studies and the World of Work. It is tiered Foundation/Higher, and some tenses (the general imperfect, the future, object pronouns, the pluperfect and wider gerund uses) are recognise-only at Foundation and produced at Higher; the passive is recognise-only at both tiers.
