NCEA Level 3 Spanish Vocabulary List Appendix for external assessment Texts for Achievement Standards 3.1 Demonstrate understanding of a variety of extended spoken Spanish texts 3.4 Demonstrate understanding of a variety of extended written/visual Spanish texts These reflect the achievement objectives for levels 7 and 8 for Learning Languages: • Communicate information, ideas, and opinions through increasingly complex and varied texts. • Understand texts which explore the views of others, and which develop and share personal perspectives. Students will be expected to identify linguistic and cultural forms that guide interpretation of texts. This will involve understanding information, ideas and opinions through increasingly complex and varied texts. Level 3 texts will be based on both concrete and abstract matters and may develop a line of argument. Texts will be about reasonably familiar contexts and will reflect the relationship between language and culture and be adapted as appropriate. The standards may be accessed here: www.nzqa.govt.nz/spanish Notes to teachers Students are expected to be able to recognise: • where a noun, adverb, or adjective can easily be constructed from the verb or vice versa • obvious cognates and loan words. For the purpose of external Level 3 assessments the examiner will not be restricted by the list below. In addition to this and in accordance with the curriculum, students at Level 3 may be expected to make informed guesses about unfamiliar words using context and prior knowledge. Note for internal assessments This appendix applies only to language used for the two end-of-year reading and listening external assessments. The language which students will use to communicate in internal assessment activities and associated learning opportunities throughout the year will necessarily reflect the Spanish teaching and learning that takes place within the context of each particular classroom and cannot and should not therefore be restricted to solely the language and useful expressions contained in this appendix.
