Spanish - A Level

Course summary

Mastering a foreign language is a wonderful gift. The Spanish A-level however, is more than learning a language deeply, as it delves into the History, the Culture and the Art of all Spanish speaking countries. Amongst many other topics, it explores pre-Columbian cultures like the Maya, Aztecs and the Incas, it presents artists (and performing artists) of the Spanish speaking world and it explores a huge array of food, festivals and traditions. It also looks at current issues like integration, immigration, politics and young people’s culture. During the course students will also have the opportunity to study in detail an exciting Spanish movie, with a seminar at the British Film Institute in the South Bank, and to read a thought-provoking literary work.
