Spanish at Denmark Road is vibrant, enjoyable and engaging in equal measure. Students study a variety of topics relevant to the young adult such as equal rights, multiculturalism, artistic culture in the Hispanic world and Popular Movements. Lessons, where Spanish is the primary language of teaching, are student centred and focus on all key skill areas: listening, speaking, reading and writing. The Spanish department is very well resourced with learning aids such as kerboodle and a suite of dedicated laptops, as well as a collection of music CDs and a regularly updated library of films. All students are strongly encouraged to spend time in Spain during their course. As well as the Spanish department helping students with work experience trips to Spain, every year some members of the group travel to Madrid as part of the excellent Spanish Exchange. Future Proof Universities are always keen to take on students with A levels in Spanish as the skills acquired, from oral communication and essay writing to an ability to learn something new and analyse are transferable to just about any other subject. At university, Spanish is frequently studied on its own, but more often with one or more languages, sometimes learnt from ‘scratch’, or with a wide choice of other subjects. In a country where students with high level language skills are increasingly frequently few and far between, employers are always looking for these applicants.
