What are lessons like in this subject?
Spanish is taught in a specialist language room meaning 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 course to further develop their cultural knowledge and linguistic competence. Students can participate
in many Enrichment opportunities relating to cultural experience, languages in Higher Education and the world of work. Spanish
A-level students can always expect lessons to be fun and relaxed yet challenging and supportive with a consistent focus on the teaching and learning needed in order to get students to where they need to be.
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:
