GCE A Level in Spanish
at Ridgewood School, Doncaster · school or sixth form
What the college says
Why Spanish? Ridgewood Sixth Form is a great place to study Spanish at A level because you will be taught in a small class, led by a language specialist. Due to the small number of students, it is possible to tailor lessons to individual needs and weekly after-school intervention sessions are open to anyone who feels they may need a little bit more support. Lessons are varied and consist of a range of activities, with students learning about both the Spanish language and Hispanic culture in Spain and Latin America. Over the two year course, we cover everything from politics to history, and from fashion to music. We also take an in-depth look at a book and film. Spanish is the most widely spoken language in the world, making this a fantastic course for anyone who thinks they would like to travel in the future, or simply for those who are interested in learning in detail about another culture. What will I study? In the first year, students will undertake modules looking at technology, art, architecture, gender equality, Spanish traditions, music and film In the second year of the course, we will look a closer look at immigration, racism, politics and the history of both Spain and Latin America. This year, students will also study a piece of literature in preparation for the writing exam.
