These recommended free e-resources are specifically aligned with the Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate (CSEC) Spanish Syllabus. The four core study profiles suggested are Listening; Speaking; Reading and Writing. Resources are provided under each of the five specific topics of study as recommended by CXC:

 

Establishing and maintaining social relationships

Giving, seeking and responding to information

Expressing opinions

Expressing emotions, attitudes and other responses

Connectives

 

NOTE: As students develop competences in listening, speaking, reading and writing in Spanish, they can then interpret aspects of the culture in which this language is embedded. They acquire the means to facilitate deeper interaction with our Caribbean neighbours. Students are able to compare their own experiences with those of their peers in Francophone and Hispanic Caribbean countries. Ultimately, students will be equipped to meet the needs of living, studying and working in a multilingual region and in a culturally and linguistically diverse world.
