Spanish

Course summary

The Modern Languages Department at MCS aims to provide enjoyment and intellectual stimulation as well as a rewarding and successful learning experience that will allow pupils to participate confidently and competently in communicative exchanges with native speakers. The emphasis in the Pre-U is on authentic language and culture. As a learner of Spanish, you will be able to explore aspects of the historical and sociological changes that have shaped Spain and transformed it into one of the most forward-looking countries in the European Union. Equally, if you are interested in economics, medicine or the law as a career you will be able to develop an oral and written competency that will allow you to work in the most important international and national institutions with the sound knowledge and confidence that you will not only stand your ground but also adapt and react flexibly to any communicative situation that your work throws at you. Above all your teaching will be first-rate, delivered by passionate teachers who know from experience what it’s like to learn a foreign language, and will be able to support you through these two life-shaping years.
