C1 Spanish worksheet on academic and formal vocabulary: discourse markers, collocations, word formation and formal register, with answers.
Start with the wordbox and matching tasks so learners can notice the expressions before producing them. Typical mistakes include wrong prepositions (hacer hincapié sobre, dar lugar de), dequeísmo (cabe destacar de que) and adding a preposition after abordar. As a follow-up, ask learners to write a short academic paragraph on a topic of their choice using at least six expressions from the worksheet.
