Cambridge IGCSE Spanish as a Foreign Language Student’s Book

Collins Cambridge IGCSE Spanish as a Foreign Language

Collins IGCSE Spanish as a Foreign Language provides comprehensive coverage of the Cambridge IGCSE Spanish (0530) syllabus. With a clear structure and engaging content, the Student’s Book has been carefully planned around topic-based units so that language learning and skills development can be taught in real-world contexts.

• All four skills (reading, writing, listening and speaking) are fully covered in a skills-based communicative approach. Content is relevant to the age group and so provides engaging and motivating learning opportunities in real-world contexts. All topics, grammar and vocabulary are mapped to the syllabus, with clear learning objectives highlighted for each section of each unit. Units follow a carefully planned, consistent structure allowing for reinforcement and progression at every stage.
• The course caters for all levels of ability, including the needs of students with less experience of Spanish or those who need more support. Each unit starts with a Listo page to allow for revision and consolidation of earlier language learning. An Introductory unit also serves as a language refresher as well as being specifically designed to engage and enthuse students at the start of the course.
• The Student’s Book also offers opportunities for those looking for an extra level of challenge, with activities included to stretch higher-ability students.
• The layout of the book is clear and accessible, with boxed features highlighting key points of grammar, vocabulary or suggestions for taking things further. A checklist towards the end of the unit encourages students to reflect on their progress, and is followed by a useful vocabulary section for ease of reference.
• Each unit also includes an “El Mundo hispanohablante” spread which offers stimulating, thought-provoking and enjoyable insights into the culture and society of Hispanophone countries.
• Opportunity for practice, consolidation and revision is provided throughout the course, with exam-style questions in Listening and Reading included to help students develop their skills for success.
• Audio files are available as a free download for listening comprehension exercises and development of oral fluency.
