Spanish

Assessment

For A level Spanish course we follow the Eduqas exam board and this course provides a transition from GCSE, improving your fluency and confidence in Spanish. Topics include ‘Families and Citizenship’, ‘Youth Trends and Personal Identity’, ‘Education and Employment Opportunities’, ‘Regional Culture and Heritage’ and ‘Media, Art, Film and Music’. You will also explore your own individual interests through Spanish film and literature as we’ll study some fantastic Spanish films and even read a book in the language to really give you a feel for the language and the culture. As well as four and a half hours of formal teaching a week you will have 20 minutes with our Spanish assistant to help boost your confidence in speaking Spanish. You will also be invited to take part in our work experience exchange to Cáceres in south western Spain, with its UNESCO World Heritage walled city. This means staying with a local family and undertaking a work placement – usually in a nursery or primary school. You will get the chance to visit Salamanca and the world famous university as well as having the possibility to visit other cultural sites, such as an excursion to the National Park of Monfragüe, home of the Iberian lynx and the black vulture.
