Now there's an easy way for pupils to communicate in Spanish with other
Spanish speakers. Spanish Pen Pals Made Easy contains fill-in-the-gap
letters, so even pupils just beginning to learn Spanish can have the
satisfaction of being able to communicate effectively in Spanish. For
the teacher, Spanish Pen Pals Made Easy does not require fluency and
there is little or no preparation required (English translations of the
letters are included, as are lists of vocabulary, key grammar points and
extension ideas). The activities link with the KS2 Framework for
language teaching with inherent cross-curricular links to geography, art
and ICT. Pen Pals can be used to supplement, consolidate and revise
course work. For the pupil, Spanish Pen Pals Made Easy is easy to
follow, realistic (Spanish is being used in real-life communication, not
just in an artificial situation). Pupils gain confidence and a positive
attitude towards foreign language learning. The book helps facilitate
intercultural understanding as the pupil can learn about Spanish culture
through a Spanish peer. It is a fun and wonderful way to make a new
friend.
