"If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his own language, that goes to his heart."

Nelson Mandela

Why study Spanish?

Learning a language is a passion that will lead to great opportunities in discovering new cultures, interesting facts about others and their ways of lives and most importantly will give you access to a direct and more personal way to communicate. Spanish is spoken in 21 countries around the world. This means you will be able to communicate not only in Spain but in the USA and many South American countries. This is great if you like travelling or plan to live and work abroad.

The GCSE course aims to develop the students’ ability to use language effectively for purposes of practical communication and to encourage positive attitudes to foreign language learning.

What will I study?

Students will continue to cover the 4 main skills of language learning (listening, speaking, reading and writing) through a variety of topics such as:

• Identity and Culture

• Local, National, International and Global areas of Interest

· Current and Future Study and Employment.

GCSE Spanish will require students to understand and use language across a range of contexts, appropriate to their age, interests and maturity levels, through a variety of sub – topics, including education, jobs and travelling abroad.

There will also be opportunities to enjoy aspects of Spanish and South American cultures during the course.
