Course content: If you want access to South America, and increasingly the North, a thorough working knowledge of the 3rd most spoken language in the World after Mandarin and English, some insight into countries with civilisations ranging from the Aztecs, Incas and Mayans to the Moors of North Africa, then Spanish in 6.1 and 6.2 is probably for you. Spanish offers to the future employer a student who is able to communicate, aware of intricacy and detail, confident when dealing with others and a person open to new experiences, challenges, hard work, full of opinions and with the ability to think outside the box; in short, an asset to their company. Above all, it is a subject that brings much to the students themselves. AS and A Level are therefore for students who want to travel and see something of another land, meet interesting people and experience another culture. Ability to deal with others is prized by all employers and many act as mentors for Years 7-11, and run the Spanish Club open to all. We benefit from the help of our native speaker for supplementary conversation classes and look out for cinema, theatre and other cultural experiences to add variety and interest to the studies. Frequent use is made of up to date material from the Spanish and Latin American to give real insight into the modern and changing world. We aim to have a study visit to Spain to put the pupils’ skills into practice.
