Studying Spanish for A Level not only develops your written and spoken fluency in the language, but also your general communication skills - a valuable asset for any future university or employer. It is wonderful to learn about other customs and cultures and celebrate our similarities and differences. The benefit of studying a language at A-Level is that in addition to discussing current affairs and debating interesting topics, you also improve your analysis and essay-writing skills by studying history, politics and literature - there really is something for everyone!

WHAT YOU WILL STUDY
Over the 2 years, we study four taught themes:
Theme 1 - Being a young person in a Spanish-speaking society (family and friends; youth trends; education and opportunities)
Theme 2: Understanding the Spanish-speaking world (culture and heritage; el mundo hispano, fiestas, art, literature and film)
Theme 3: Diversity and difference (cultural identity; celebrating difference; discrimination and diversity)
Theme 4: Las dos Españas (the Spanish Civil War, Franco’s dictatorship, transition to democracy and the repercussions for modern Spain)
We also study a film and a work of literature - in recent years these have included El laberinto del fauno, La casa de Bernarda Alba and Las bicicletas son para el verano. Students also complete an independent research project on a topic of their choosing.
