What the college says

A Level Spanish is structured as a linear course taught over two years, though there will be the option for students to sit a stand-alone AS qualification at the end of their first year. All four skills (listening, reading, speaking and writing) will be assessed at each level. During the course you will cover interesting and current topics which have social issues and trends, politics and Spanish culture as their focus. You will build your knowledge of grammar throughout the course to support you in speaking and in writing more fluently and accurately. There is a strong emphasis on self-expression, arguing viewpoints and writing coherent essays. You will have the opportunity to carry out independent research on cultural issues, such as modern Spanish film and contemporary and classical literature. In addition you will develop key skills in translation, debating and structuring an analytical essay. Key aspects of the course include analysing newspaper articles, film and television, learning about culture as well as the language, developing writing skills and securing your knowledge of Spanish grammar.
