Description
A complete B2 Legal Spanish lesson exploring employment law and collective redundancies.
This downloadable learning resource is designed for B2 Spanish students who want to develop their language skills in legal and professional contexts.
The lesson is built around a case involving a collective redundancy procedure and progressively develops the vocabulary, comprehension and grammar needed to understand and discuss employment-related situations in Spanish.
Students work with key Legal Spanish terminology including despido colectivo, expediente de regulación de empleo (ERE), autoridad laboral, periodo de consultas, causas económicas, representantes de los trabajadores, plan de recolocación, impugnar una decisión and garantizar la viabilidad.
The resource includes reading comprehension, multiple-choice questions, interpretation of legal terminology, word formation, legal collocations and contextualised vocabulary exercises. The central case also provides opportunities to practise language commonly used when discussing workplace procedures, negotiations and disputes.
A dedicated grammar section focuses on the Spanish imperfect tense (pretérito imperfecto), particularly its use for describing past circumstances, ongoing situations and habitual actions. Students then practise the important contrast between the imperfect and the preterite (pretérito indefinido) within the same professional context.
The final activities move from controlled language practice to written and oral production, encouraging students to use the vocabulary and grammatical structures covered throughout the lesson.
