Key learning points

  1. It is important to have a firm knowledge of Spanish SSCs in order to accurately transcribe spoken Spanish.
  2. It is important to have a broad vocabulary to be successful at answering listening comprehension questions.
  3. It is important to listen out for synonyms and distractors when answering listening comprehension questions.

Keywords

  • Sound-symbol correspondence - relationship between letters and their sounds

  • Distractor - incorrect but plausible answer option in reading and listening tasks, designed to test your attention to detail

  • Synonym - word that has the same or very similar meaning to another word

Common misconception

I can rely on strategies like prediction to successfully complete listening comprehension questions.

Strategies like prediction can be useful, but the most important way to successfully answer listening comprehension questions is by having a broad vocabulary.

Tasks A1a and A1b contain a mixture of Higher and Foundation vocabulary, but can be easily adapted to suit your class.
