Crown House Publishing have worked closely with WJEC on a new series of endorsed textbooks for modern foreign languages covering the reformed GCSEs for Wales, taught from 2016 and awarded for the first time in 2018. These textbooks, covering the French, German and Spanish GCSE qualifications, have been designed in conjunction with examiners, specification developers and experienced teachers to support learners through the challenges of the new specifications. They are designed for the teaching of French, German and Spanish through the medium of Welsh.
They offer engaging and relevant content and provide comprehensive coverage of the WJEC themes and sub-themes, incorporating all of the new exam components, including:
• Literary and authentic texts
• Listening and reading tasks that correspond to specification requirements
• Role plays, photo cards and conversation questions
• Translation (from and into Spanish)
• Increased focus on grammar including grammar in context sections
• Opportunities for stretch and challenge
The textbook is most effective as a learning resource when used alongside the CBAC TGAU Sbaeneg – Llyfr Athrawon (ISBN 9781785832499) and WJEC GCSE Spanish Audio Pack (ISBN 9781785831638). The answers to the exercises in the textbook are given in the teacher guide.

• Testunau llenyddol a gwreiddiol
• Tasgau gwrando a darllen sy’n cyfateb i ofynion y fanyleb
• Tasgau chwarae rôl, cardiau llun a chwestiynau sgwrs
• Cyfieithiad (o ac i’r Sbaeneg)
• Mwy o sylw i ramadeg gan gynnwys adrannau ‘Gramadeg yn ei gyd-destun’
