The A Level Spanish course builds on the knowledge and skills developed at GCSE. It is a course where both your knowledge of Hispanic culture and the ability to communicate in Spanish will greatly increase. You will study: technological and social change, looking at the multicultural nature of Hispanic society; highlights of Hispanic artistic culture, including a focus on Spanish regional identity and the cultural heritage of past civilisations; and explore the influence of the past on present-day Hispanic communities. Throughout your studies, you learn the language in the context of Hispanic countries and the issues and influences which have shaped them. You will study texts and film and will have the opportunity to carry out independent research on an area of your choice.
