Praxis Spanish: World Language study plan

Diagnose baseline by completing one timed 20-item listening set and one timed 20-item reading set, then log every error by cause (vocabulary, inference, speed, distractors)

Transcribe 8 short authentic audio clips (news brief, announcement, podcast excerpt, voicemail) and underline every word you had to replay

Build a 60-item thematic vocabulary log from editorial and news reading, writing each entry with a Spanish-language definition rather than an English translation

Shadow 15 minutes of native-rate audio daily for four days, marking which sounds or blends slow your comprehension

Infer speaker intent, tone, and register from 10 audio prompts by writing a one-sentence justification for each answer

Paraphrase 8 reading passages in your own Spanish words without reusing source phrasing

Summarize 5 audio segments aloud in 60 seconds each, recording every attempt

Compare 3 pairs of texts on the same topic from different registers and list the lexical markers that signal formality

Practice circumlocution by describing 20 concrete nouns and 10 abstract concepts in Spanish without naming them

Record 12 spontaneous 90-second responses to open interpersonal prompts, allowing only 15 seconds of planning

Rate each recording against a 5-point rubric covering task completion, fluency, vocabulary range, grammar accuracy, and pronunciation

Drill 6 conversational repair moves (asking for clarification, buying time, restating, negotiating meaning) until each is used at least twice on a recording

Complete one timed half-length practice test covering listening, reading, and speaking under exam conditions

Re-attack every missed item from the half-test and write the reasoning that would have produced the correct answer

Re-record the three weakest interpersonal responses from week 3, targeting the specific subskills identified

Sustain a 10-minute unscripted Spanish conversation or self-talk monologue without switching to English

Write 4 presentational texts (formal email, opinion piece, narrative, cultural comparison) using a consistent planning template

Convert each written text into a 2-minute spoken version to reuse vocabulary and structures across modes

Edit all 4 drafts against a checklist of connectors, subjunctive triggers, and register consistency

Build a 25-item personal error list from your own writing and mark each item as fixed or still recurring

Deliver 8 recorded presentational monologues of 2 minutes each on varied topics with only 2 minutes of preparation

Integrate 3 target structures per monologue (subjunctive, conditional, passive or impersonal se) and verify them in the recording

Strengthen cohesion by using at least 6 discourse markers in every text and speech sample

Self-assess all 8 recordings for pace, pausing, and pronunciation of difficult phonemes, noting two fixes per recording

Synthesize authentic sources into 2 written presentational responses that cite ideas without copying wording

Write 5 original comprehension questions for each of 4 reading passages, then answer them to test your own inference skill

Reduce response time by completing 3 timed listening blocks of 15 items each with a strict per-item limit

Refine the personal error list down to the 10 recurring items and design one drill per item

Simulate the full exam twice under strict timing, once at the start of the week and once at the end

Compare the two simulation score sheets and confirm that no subskill dropped between attempts

Run a 20-minute daily speaking warm-up covering interpersonal and presentational prompts in alternating order

Review only the 10-item error drill sheet and vocabulary log; add no new material
