Spanish

Course summary

Languages at A Level can open a wealth of opportunities. They build on the core skills of listening, reading, writing and speaking gained through GCSE. During this course, you will develop a deeper understanding of French or Spanish in a variety of contexts and genres, and learn to communicate confidently, clearly and effectively in French or Spanish for a range of purposes. Our lessons are largely taught in the foreign language you are studying and our small class sizes mean that you will quickly develop your oral fluency and confidence, with individual guidance given in every lesson and plenty of opportunities for pair work, group discussions and lively debates. As part of the course, you will study a wide range of topics including social issues and trends; political, intellectual and artistic culture; immigration and multicultural societies; and the arts, literature and history - such as the study of a French film and novel or the Spanish Civil War and magic realism in Latin American literature. We use a range of mediums to support learning and study trips provide plenty of opportunities to immerse yourself in the language.
