1 espaņol eXtra was created and is maintained by a current Head of Department with over 10 years' teaching experience. You have access to insider knowledge! espaņol eXtra was founded on the key principles underpinning effective language teaching - variety, motivation, purpose, communication and reward. You know the resources will be effective in meeting your learning objectives because they have been tried and tested in the classroom! 2 espaņol eXtra is a constantly updated resource. Unlike text books, the resources on espaņol eXtra are always updated and revised to ensure relevance to today's teaching and learning needs. New resources are added weekly ensuring the range and variety available is second to none. 3 espaņol eXtra does not cost the earth! For a large school, the per pupil cost is a matter of a few pence (or cents). Compare this to the cost of a new course book and you will see the cost effectiveness of espaņol eXtra. 4 espaņol eXtra puts fun at the heart of the learning process. Experience shows that a learner who enjoys the learning process will always make faster and more substantial progress than an unhappy one! We don't believe in making fun an option in the learning process. We ensure it is omnipresent! 5 espaņol eXtra is always willing to respond to its users requirements. If you have a particular topic for which you would like a series of resources created, we will always endeavour, when possible, to create them for you. 6 espaņol eXtra always seeks to innovate and create bespoke resources to get the job done! Rather than create general resources for any audience, we create focused resources which are learning-objective centred to ensure that the point in question can be taught, understood clearly and practised effectively. 7 espaņol eXtra is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. It can be accessed from any Internet-enabled computer so it can be used in school lessons, in lunch time sessions, in after school clubs and at home for homework assignments. It is truly an always-accessible resource for all. With independent learning such a key element of success in the learning process, espaņol eXtra provides all of the necessary activities to enable its users to advance quickly in their understanding of and confidence in Spanish. 8 espaņol eXtra not only provides electronic resources; there are also an increasing number of printable resources where a subscription allows you to print off any number of copies for your own use. Verb charts, grammar exercises, cover lesson materials and so on. As more and more are added, so the possibilities for their use grow. 9 espaņol eXtra has many activities which use native speaker recordings to allow users to listen to authentic spoken Spanish and test their listening comprehension. A true test of the progress users are making in Spanish! 10 espaņol eXtra has quite literally a global appeal - we have users from right around the world, from New Zealand and Australia, to Japan and China, the Middle East, Africa, Europe, every part of Great Britain and Ireland, the USA and Canada and countries of South America.
