Course summary

In lessons, we look at the above topics from different angles and learn how to express our thoughts about them in Spanish. In doing so, we learn a lot about the culture, history and traditions of Hispanic countries. Students will be involved in a range of listening, speaking, reading and writing activities. A development of grammatical knowledge throughout the course will enable students to express themselves more accurately, fluently and with more complexity. Independent study is also important. An A level in Spanish can lead to more than simply studying Spanish at University level. Languages can be combined with almost anything and new ones started from scratch. Other possibilities are the fields of travel and tourism, translating, teaching, journalism and linking languages with business. The need for a skill combined with the ability to speak a language is increasingly in demand in many types of employment such as the Civil Service, Law, Accountancy, Hotel and Catering. Britain is desperately short of well qualified graduates with language skills. Employment opportunities for those who study a language, especially when combined with something else, are excellent. Topics Studied: Social issues and trends Aspects of Hispanic society Political and artistic culture- Artistic culture in the Hispanic world Social issues and trends - Multiculturalism in Hispanic society Political and artistic culture- Aspects of political life in the Hispanic world.
