What the college says

A LEVEL SPANISH – AQA: COURSE CONTENT & AIMS Spanish A level aims to develop students’ speaking, listening, reading and writing skills, in order to provide students with the means to express their ideas through the language. The use of Spanish as the principal means of communication in the classroom plays an important part in this course and prepares students for role-play, discussion and general conversation in the final exam. Spanish is the world’s second most spoken language, after Chinese, and is the second most used language in international communication. By 2030, 7.5% of the world’s population will be native Spanish speakers, approximately 535 million people. In 3 or 4 generations, it is estimated that 10% of the world’s population will understand Spanish. It is the mother tongue of approximately 426 million people in the world and is the official language in 21 countries. Learning Spanish will increasingly open doors to new job opportunities and international trade. Not only is learning Spanish becoming increasingly crucial in terms of the global economy, it can also play a major role in your own personal development. The Spanish passion for living is contagious, and once you start to learn about their language and culture, you won’t ever want to stop.
