Course summary

The A Level Spanish course is an extension of the GCSE course. It continues to concentrate on the four skills of listening, reading, speaking and writing but also introduces you to a wider range of vocabulary, an in-depth study of the grammar and increased knowledge of culture and society. All of this will enable you to communicate confidently, clearly and effectively, to give your own ideas and opinions on many topics, including controversial political and contemporary issues. You will also be able to study literature and film of Hispanic countries and carry out your own research project on an aspect of your Spanish studies that interests you.
