Spanish is available at A Level to students who have already studied Spanish at GCSE. For A level you will continue to study the key skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing throughout the course. You will explore topics which link to subjects covered at GCSE: young people and popular culture, family and relationships, health and well-being and communication technology. You will learn most of the grammar you need to be able to speak and write Spanish fluently during year 12 as well as picking up new skills such as translation and debating in the foreign language. In year 13 we study film, literature, the topics of immigration and the environment, and social, political and historical issues relating to Spain and South America. You will be required to write and talk at length about your studies, and to translate into both English and Spanish in the final written exam. To achieve success at A level a willingness to read and listen to Spanish outside of the classroom is a must, as is a readiness to engage with the topics studied and to discuss, debate and defend your opinion persuasively. To assist students to this end the Spanish department offer a week's work experience in Spain where students can live with a family and work in an area that interests them. It is an invaluable way of increasing language skills as well as building up personal contacts and real experience of Spanish life.
