This course aims to: • Build on the knowledge you gained at GCSE, furthering your language skills in reading, listening, speaking, and writing. You will become more fluent, independent, and confident when interacting. • Explore key issues in the context of a Spanish-speaking country that will inspire cultural curiosity. You will be able to develop your own views and express them in Spanish. • Analyse Spanish literary and cinematographic work. • Enable you to consolidate a range of general and language-specific study and communication skills through research, group work, oral presentations, essay writing, use of ICT, etc. The emphasis in Year 12 is on developing your language proficiency through the study of a variety of themes rooted in Spanish-speaking countries. You will start by consolidating the foundations laid at GCSE during a carefully devised bridging program. We then build on those skills gradually. Given the nature of foreign language study, we work very hard to provide you with a variety of opportunities for foreign travel: study visits, work experience, trips to university, conferences for Sixth Formers, and, when appropriate, theatre and cinema visits.
In order to gain entry into Robert Smyth Academy Sixth Form you will need a minimum of 40 points, including a grade 4 in English and maths, from your best eight GCSEs. Grade 5 or above in GCSE Spanish.
