Summary:
Edexcel's own course for Edexcel's own specification.

Edexcel Spanish for A Level is a brand new one-volume Spanish course for students following the Edexcel specification at AS and A2.

It is endorsed by Edexcel and written by Senior Examiners and offers comprehensive coverage of the specification topics, in a carefully planned teaching scheme to ensure effective language learning plus effective exam preparation.

It is supported by two Dynamic Learning resources:

- For Teachers the Network Edition DVD-ROM (978 0340 968895) provides all elements of the Student Book for use on the whiteboard or school network plus all required audio files and Teacher's Resource Book. It also adds video clips and interactive versions of 200 of the language activities. The aim is to allow teachers to teach in a truly integrated way launching all the resources they need from a single platform. It also includes a powerful and intuitive 'lesson builder' for you to create your own lessons from the resources we have provided combined with your own favourite websites or other learning activities.

- For the Student each copy of the book comes with a CD or a password to access a powerful set of activities and advice for independent learning. This Dynamic Learning Home Edition CD-ROM includes expert advice, and interactive activities, and exam practice for Listening, Grammar, Vocabulary, Speaking, Exam and Study Skills as well as a range of weblinks to explore to help students improve their Spanish.
