Spanish

Course summary

To enable students to develop and deepen their awareness and understanding of the Spanish language, while broadening their cultural awareness of the countries where Spanish is spoken. There is a focus on speaking the language confidently and coherently and this is done largely through studying the language in its cultural, literary and social context. Tasks undertaken will aim at developing all four skill areas: speaking, listening, reading and writing. Students will be required to study literature and film and an appreciation of these will be included in the assessment. In addition to their timetabled lessons, students will attend a weekly conversation class with a native Spanish speaker.
