What the college says

Students studying for an A Level qualification will be tested on all subject content in terminal examinations at the end of Year 13. Language-learning in Key Stage 5 moves from the purely personal (my school, my family etc.) into the study of more abstract topics, which demand an extensive range of topic-specific vocabulary and a broader range of ideas. There is a clear focus on aspects of life in Hispanic society. Knowledge of grammar is consolidated and extended to allow for effective delivery of ideas in writing and orally. There are two written papers at the end of the course, one of which tests listening and reading skills and ability to translate into and out of Spanish and the other focuses on essay writing. Speaking is tested through an interview in Spanish. Course Content Year 12 subject content is as follows: •Year 12 subject content is as follows: •Aspects of Hispanic society: (e.g. modern and traditional values, equal rights, cyberspace, impact of tourism) •Artistic culture in the Hispanic world (e.g. modern day idols, Spanish regional identity, cultural heritage, modern-day means of communication) •Grammar •One literary text or film chosen from a prescribed list In addition to the content above, students study the following in Year 13: •Multiculturalism in Hispanic society: (e.g. immigration, racism, integration ) •Aspects of political life in the Hispanic world (e.g. today’s youth and tomorrow’s citizens; monarchy, republics and dictatorships; popular movements
