Spanish

Course summary

Course Content: A-Level Spanish will allow you to develop a good command of vocabulary and grammar, to be able to translate into and out of the language, and to speak it confidently. A-Level Spanish includes studying social issues and trends in relation to any Spanish speaking country. You will also study political and artistic culture and look in detail at literature and films written in Spanish. Studying literature and film really brings the language to life and also consolidates your understanding of culture and society that is so important for other topics you study. Underpinning all of those topics is work in advanced grammar and the vocabulary which will increase your fluency and ability to communicate in that language. Progression: Spanish has strong cross curricular links with many other subjects and is highly valued by Universities and future employers. An A level in a modern language provides a particularly good foundation for a degree in History, English, Politics, or Law and also opens the door to doing a joint honours degree (for example English and French or Law and French). Having an additional language can enhance your employability in a world which increasingly depends on global relationships. University courses such as Medicine and Engineering favour students who have studied languages as it shows an ability to communicate and provides the opportunity to study/ work abroad and/ or work for an international company. Studying a language improves understanding of your own language and develops appreciation of other cultures.
