This course is designed for those who wish to improve their command of Spanish and gain insight into the country and its people, as well as other Spanish speaking countries and communities. The Programme of Study The course extends naturally from the skills developed at GCSE. Approximately equal emphasis is placed on each of the linguistic skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing, and students will also develop their translation skills from English into Spanish and from Spanish into English. Finally, the course will also enable students to acquire more knowledge about the contemporary culture and society of Spain and countries and communities where Spanish is spoken. At A level, students will develop an understanding of the spoken and written forms of Spanish and develop positive attitudes to foreign language learning. They will also be encouraged to communicate more confidently through spoken and written means, increasing as they do their knowledge of the contemporary society and cultural background of countries and communities where Spanish is spoken. Students will gain a greater understanding of the Spanish Speaking world, its society, current issues and political life. During the course, students will also increase both their fluency and accuracy in using complex and varied language in different contexts. Finally, there are opportunities to extend their Spanish still further in clubs and activities. Higher Education and Career opportunities A foreign language is useful in any career, for example in tourism, international banking and commerce. As well as pure language degrees there are numerous possible subject combinations with Spanish at University such as European Law and Spanish or Business Administration and Spanish, History and Spanish and Law and Spanish and many of our former students have gone on to study the subject at university either as a pure degree or combined with another subject. Spanish is a major world language, with approximately 400,000,000 speakers, meaning people with qualifications in this particular language are always in demand. It goes without saying that language qualifications are an asset and an A level qualification in Spanish will prove invaluable in today’s economy.
