What are lessons like in this subject?
Spanish is taught in a well-equipped specialist language laboratory, which means that students have plenty of IT access to facilitate independently controlled listening practice (as in the A-Level exam) and pair-work speaking practice. Lessons cover the four main language skills: listening, speaking reading and writing and are taught, as far as possible, in the target language. Grammar teaching is also integrated within the teaching of the A-Level topics. In addition to the three lessons, students have a separate speaking session in a pair / individually to enhance fluency and confidence in this skill area. We offer students an opportunity to visit Spain during their Year 13 year to further develop their cultural knowledge and linguistic competence. In addition, when Spanish theatre shows or films are available locally, we also offer students the chance to see these opportunities too.
What will I study?
Students will study topics from a range of political, social and cultural themes all in relation to the Spanish-speaking world following the AQA A-Level course:
What our
students
I have loved every aspect of studying Spanish this year, have been able to develop my language skills and have become so much more confident with my speaking in particular! It has opened my eyes to important issues and debates within the Spanish speaking world today and my teachers have encouraged me to step outside of my comfort zone and challenge myself.
