Dear Parent/Carer

Re. Dictionary for GCSE Spanish Course

The Academy has the opportunity to purchase Spanish-English, English-Spanish dictionaries, on behalf of students. They are published by Oxford University Press and are available for £4.50, 50% of the recommended retail price. A dictionary is essential for homework and preparation for controlled assessments and is used during the writing controlled assessment. We recommend the 'Oxford Learner's Spanish Dictionary' as it contains helpful verb tables and information about Spanish grammar.

If you prefer to purchase a dictionary yourself, they are available online at a reasonable cost. The Collins Easy Learning Spanish Dictionary is also recommended as it also has certain extra features which are useful for controlled assessments.

If you would like to take advantage of the opportunity to purchase an OUP dictionary, please return the slip below to student reception, with cash or cheque, payable to Corby Business Academy by Thursday 20^th October.

If you require any further information please do not hesitate to contact me at the Academy by 'phone or email kturney@corbybusinessacademy.org

Yours faithfully

Karen Turney
