Spanish Stage 6 Continuers Syllabus Resources
The Continuers syllabus may be implemented with minimal variation in the resources currently used, though additional resources may be added as theme-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 themes. The list is not definitive and is provided for guidance only.
