A-Level Spanish is suitable for students who have already studied Spanish at GCSE level and want to deepen their understanding of the language and culture. It’s particularly well-suited for those who plan to pursue higher education in fields like Modern Languages, International Relations, or Business, or those interested in careers involving translation, interpreting, or working in Spanish-speaking countries.
This course builds upon GCSE skills, aiming to develop proficiency in all four language areas: listening, reading, speaking, and writing. Students explore Hispanic society, culture, and politics, including studying prescribed texts and films. The course also emphasises understanding contemporary issues and multiculturalism within Spanish-speaking communities.
