Spanish is the mother tongue of approximately 219 million people and is the fourth most spoken language in the world. Being able to speak Spanish not only provides opportunities in Europe, but offers great scope in Latin America and enables you to take part in a lively and exciting culture. The aim of the specification (syllabus) for A Level Spanish is to develop further the ability to use Spanish competently. It is designed to encourage students to develop understanding of the spoken and written forms of the foreign language from a variety of registers and to enable them to communicate confidently, clearly and effectively through the spoken and written word, using increasingly accurate, complex and varied language. It also aims to develop critical insights into, and contact with, the contemporary society, cultural background and heritage of countries or communities where the foreign language is spoken. The course uses modern text books, magazines, films and online resources. Cultural topics and texts are studied. It is recommended that students spend at least two weeks of their holiday in a Spanish speaking country.
A good pass at GCSE Spanish is essential.
