In our increasingly globalised world, communicating in another language, learning about the political aspects of another country and having an understanding of a country’s society, literature and culture are invaluable. Spanish is an exciting and challenging course that combines all of the above. During the course, you will learn to communicate and debate on current affairs, politics and socio-economic issues related to Spain and the Spanish-speaking world. You will learn a lot about cultural references, the arts and the literature in the Hispanic world combined with the in-depth study of a film and a set text. The course is very interactive and you will have the opportunity to develop your knowledge and language skills through a variety of different mediums such as TV, music, the internet and authentic texts. As well as topic-based lessons and weekly grammar lessons, you will improve your fluency and pronunciation in small groups as well as in speaking sessions with a language assistant. Studying a language at A level leads to a range of career opportunities. Students who have studied languages go on to have careers in a variety of sectors including teaching, translating, sales and marketing, travel & tourism, journalism, fashion, work in the foreign office or secret service, interpreting and banking. Spanish extends beyond the classroom at King Alfred and several extra-curricular activities are on offer. This includes an annual trip to San Sebastian.
In general, external applicants are required to achieve at least five GCSE passes at Grade 6 or above (as required by individual subjects) for entry into our A-level courses. Grades 7-9 in Spanish GCSE are required to access the syllabus confidently.
