Spanish

Course summary

This course provides students with the opportunity to develop the skills and understanding of the Hispanic-speaking world acquired through GCSE study. Topics studied at A level: aspects of Spanish speaking society; current trends, such as the impact of the internet on society; artistic culture in the Spanish speaking world, including work on Spanish cinema, music and literature, as well as political life in Spain. Each theme is dealt with in considerable depth. The course thus develops problem-solving skills and the student’s ability to understand and respond to complex issues and be able to talk and discuss these points confidently in the target language. Throughout the course, students will have access to 1:1 language development sessions with a Spanish language assistant, to help improve accent and spontaneity.
