Students need to have studied Spanish in Year 8

What is IGCSE Spanish?

The Spanish IGCSE course provides a valuable opportunity to make significant progress towards becoming a specialist in the language and the culture of Spain and Latin-America. Building on the foundations laid in Year 9, students will develop their language skills in three key areas: grammatical awareness, comprehension and communication. As a result, students will become capable of understanding the language in a variety of registers as well as writing and speaking it accurately and increasingly fluently. The development of language skills will take place within a framework of topics and issues of interest and relevance to students and to young people in the Spanish-speaking world. Students will also be strongly encouraged to participate in an exchange visit to Spain, which will further enhance their language skills as well as their personal and emotional maturity.

What skills are involved/developed through the courses?

This course equips students with a number of key transferable skills such as: communication (oral and written), analytical and logical thinking, creativity, literacy, independent learning, cultural and geographical awareness, teamwork and presentation skills.

What sort of student does it suit and what will they get out of the course?
