A level languages - Spanish

Course summary

If you enjoy this vibrant language and want to know more about Spain and the Spanish-speaking world, then A level Spanish may well be for you. Year 1 gives you the chance to bring together prior learning and build up your confidence with a broader vocabulary, and you will go on to master a wide range of grammatical concepts by the end of Year 2. We offer a range of up-to-date resources to support the new A level specification, and supplement these with authentic material from newspapers, blogs, magazines and television. We plan to have a Spanish language assistant working both in class and with individuals and small groups to increase spontaneity and to add authenticity to the topics covered. Our groups tend to be small so everybody has the opportunity to contribute – in Spanish, of course!
