We currently offer a two-year course in Spanish. Throughout the two years, students develop an awareness and understanding of contemporary society, cultural background and heritage of both Spain and other Spanish speaking countries. Students learn to listen, read and respond to a variety of spoken and written texts which include authentic materials. In class and with the Spanish assistant, students are encouraged to use the Spanish language accurately to express facts and ideas, and to present explanations, opinions and information in both speech and writing. Students are assessed by examination at the end of the Upper Sixth.
