Spanish Stage 6 Extension Syllabus Resources
The Extension syllabus may be implemented with minimal variation in the resources currently used, though additional items may be added as issue-specific items are identified or developed. The following list has been developed by practising teachers of Spanish, in the light of the new syllabus. A list of general resources has been provided and, where appropriate, resources have also been listed under prescribed issues.
The list is not definitive, and is provided for guidance only.
