Spanish

Course summary

The A Level course for Spanish builds on the listening, speaking, reading and writing skills developed at GCSE. We explore topics that are more mature and reflective of Hispanic society, the cultures and up-to-date trends of these communities. Work is approached in small groups and students are encouraged to communicate their own ideas in their chosen language, whilst critically examining the points of view of their peers and alternative sources. In order to build fluency and confidence, students have individual speaking sessions with our experienced Language Assistant. The sessions support preparation for the speaking examination discussion and project as well as spontaneous speech to use in Hispanic cultures.
