Well, we are no stranger to the fact that scoring a perfect 7 is not easy at all. But under the guidance of expert faculty and IB tutors, one can achieve this feat. The course of Spanish is divided into two parts-
- Higher Level.

The IB tutors at the Ace Academy have an idea about the nook and corner of the syllabus. They take a deep interpretation of the paper-wise and level-wise breakdown of the syllabus and fragment the training topics accordingly.

The IB tutors also help the students in knowing about the differences in the syllabus and will guide you exactly.

Syllabus
The IB Spanish Ace Academy experts are very informed about the syllabus and are updated about time to time changing about the syllabus. The IB Spanish Tutors at the Ace Academy will help you plan your course throughout the two years very easily.
| Area of Exploration | Overview | Time |
| Meaning, form and language | This area of exploration focuses on how morphology, syntax, and diction interact in the creation of meaning. It considers this not only from a linguistic perspective, but also a literary one: how tone, diction, and stylistic elements can shape meaning and create effect. Students consider this both in a receptive context—primarily as a reader of Latin or Classical Greek—but also in productive and interactive contexts, too: as writers, speakers, and interlocutors of the classical language | SL=70 HL=120 |
| Text, author, audience | This area of exploration focuses on the interrelationship between texts, authors, and audiences, both ancient and modern. Students consider the role that ancient texts played in communicating powerful thoughts and feelings, and what the role of the audience was (and is) in creating and generating meaning. Students consider similarities and differences between texts, authors, literary forms and/or genres, and the ideas expressed in them | SL = 50 HL = 80 |
| Time, space and culture | This area of exploration focuses on the connections between sources and ideas produced in different times and places, and how sources can represent, and be understood from, a variety of cultural and historical perspectives. Students interrogate the historical environments and cultural attitudes that shape the production and reception of texts, to arrive at a more complete understanding of them. | SL = 30 HL = 40 |
The syllabus for Language B and Language Abinitio is loosely defined and the plan is at teachers’ discretion. But don’t worry our tutors have got the right plans for you to succeed.
The IB tutors encourage the students to follow the below guidelines-
- Start with learning the pronunciation
Learning the pronunciation of Spanish is as important as learning the grammar. The best way to start this is by learning simple grammar. Grammar is a very important part of every language. By doing this you will have the ability to improve other things instead of getting stuck to the basics. The tutors at Mumbai train you in every way possible so that you can get a hold of the basic pronunciation and the dialect. They also encourage group discussion and debates to allow students to put forward their opinions. This way the syllabus is also covered and the students also learn to pronounce the words properly. It is not possible to figure out everything from the first lecture itself but with practice, you can get better.
- Learn useful phrases and verb tenses
Learning Spanish comes with a plethora of verb tenses. Start practicing and using the verb tenses every day. The expert faculty keep a check on your progress and see to it that you complete every task in the stipulated period. They also keep an assessment after finishing an entire topic of the subject and later on monitor the progress of the student. They also keep a separate session for solving doubts so that the doubts are cleared then and there. There are structured lessons in Spanish. Try to learn and use a new phrase every day. The tutors encourage you to pick a specific situation every time and use the phrase suitable for that situation.
- Looking at specific concepts through past papers
Studying the chapters individually and not focusing on the value of the past papers is the biggest mistake a student can make. The IB examiners make unique tailor-made questions every year and see to it that there are no repetitions at all. They have an idea about the structure and the degree of toughness of the question. They also give the utmost importance in formulating techniques for better time management. It is one of the toughest tasks to do but the IB Ace Academy tutors handle the situation perfectly. The tutors have the papers and handwritten notes in their database. By the time the exam arrives, the Spanish tutors equip the students very well.
- Practicing through different types of textbooks
There are E-books for understanding various topics. There are more than 7 publications that offer a high-quality IB syllabus. The Spanish tutors at the Ace academy have all the past papers, textbooks, and publications to teach you. The students are often given the handbooks by the school authority but sometimes, the handbooks are outdated. The IB Spanish tutors make sure that they only give the latest edition handbooks to the students. The lessons are tailor-made according to their convenience.
The expert faculty at the Ace Academy helps the students learn through various simulations and interactions. The language part also teaches various concepts that are to be applied in the literature books.
