Spanish

Assessment

We prepare you for the AQA board specification. You will study cultural topics including film, literature, fashion and music, as well as contemporary issues such as immigration and globalisation. You will also study some important history, such as the Spanish Civil War. Your oral examination will focus on a topic you choose to research (this could be a work of art, a musician, a building or a political issue, for instance) and you will write essays on a play (by Lorca) and film (directed by Almodóvar), as well as be tested on your listening, reading and translation skills. Our linguists always say how much more interesting the A-Level is compared to the GCSE – they are right!
