IB Spanish Ab Initio

by Gaby Geneser

SL COURSE MATERIALS
IB Curriculum Aligned*

Ab Initio Spanish is a two-year accelerated International Baccalaureate (IB) course designed for students who have not previously studied Spanish. (Ab Initio means “from the beginning.) The goal is for students to acquire the skills necessary to interact in every day situations in reading, writing, listening, and speaking. This is an ambitious goal, but one which motivated students can achieve with the help of their teacher and this textbook.

Ab Initio Spanish provides teachers with the ideal preparation necessary for their students to succeed on the IB exam.  From the very beginning, it immerses students in the language and culture of the Spanish world through readings and exercises that reflect those of the Ab Initio Spanish syllabus, internal and external assessments. (This text can also be used for any accelerated Spanish program.)

Additionally, the textbook includes all the vocabulary and grammar required by the Ab Initio guidelines and a set of pictures for the internal oral exam.  Information is organized so that students can study it independently and in class. 

Whether you are an experienced or novice Ab Initio teacher, you will find Ab Initio Spanish an indispensable tool.

Course materials cover the full two-years of the course with support for all aspects of learning and instruction. The Teacher’s Edition includes a syllabus, correlation to standards, pacing guide, daily lesson plans, teacher’s workbook, CD with daily class notes in PDF (for use as color overheads and/or Power Points), and complete assessments. Classroom sets includes 25 Student Workbooks and a Teacher Edition with CD. After purchase of the Teacher’s Edition, additional Student Workbooks are available for individual purchase.
