Spanish

Entry Requirements

For your A Level Spanish course you are expected to gain some general knowledge of contemporary society in Spain. This requires extensive reading of authentic material on your part: magazines, newspapers, books, novels. Furthermore, to attain the coveted top grades, you will have to develop your linguistic skills to a certain degree of sophistication and refinement. It is therefore essential that you are able to work independently and organise your study well. To add an extra dimension you will be asked to view a range of contemporary Spanish and Latin American films. In addition, you will have a number of essays to write as well as weekly oral presentations to do. These will be based on topics and issues discussed during lessons. You will have to carry out your own research for these, although appropriate materials may be provided from the department to help you to that end. I am sure you will enjoy working in a small group.
