CCEA Resource Pack: GCE Spanish
Introduction CCEA has developed new GCE specifications for first teaching from September 2008. This resource pack has been designed to support you in introducing the new specification. The resource pack provides suggestions for organising and supporting students’ learning activities. It is intended to assist you in developing your own schemes of work and should not be considered as being prescriptive or exhaustive. Please remember that this resource pack is intended only as a pathway through the content of the specification, not as a replacement. It is the specification on which assessment is based and which details the knowledge, understanding and skills that students need to acquire during the course. This resource pack should therefore be used in conjunction with the specification. Published resources and web references included in the resource pack have been checked and are correct at the date of issue but may be updated by the time that the specification is introduced. You should therefore check with publishers and websites for the latest versions. CCEA accepts no responsibility for the content of listed publications or websites. CCEA will be making Word versions of this resource pack available on the subject micro-site. This will enable you to use them as a foundation for developing your own schemes of work which are matched to your teaching and learning environments and the needs of your students. We hope that you find this aspect of our support package useful in your teaching. Best wishes
