There will be two themes studied in year 12: • Social issues and trends in Spain • Political and artistic culture in the Spanish-speaking world And further, two themes were studied in year 13: • Immigration and multicultural Spanish society • The Spanish Civil War (36-39), Franco’s dictatorship and transition to democracy An additional aspect is the compulsory analytical study of one work of literature (La Casa de Bernarda Alba by Federico García Lorca) and a film (El Laberinto del Fauno by Guillermo del Toro) over the course of two years. In addition to written work, students will gradually develop their abilities to speak spontaneously, express their opinions eloquently and persuasively and tackle challenging authentic listening and reading texts from a wide variety of different genres.
