SPANISH

SBAENEG

The MFL department offers Spanish at AS and A Level. The courses require students to build upon the listening,
speaking, reading and writing skills acquired at GCSE and, in addition, to develop a deeper awareness of the culture and
traditions of Spain. Students are encouraged to use the language as much as possible during lessons. Newspaper and
magazine articles, as well as DVDs and computers are used to make lessons more lively and interesting.
Potential students should already have reached a good standard in Spanish and preferably achieved a Grade A or B
or equivalent at GCSE. The AS may be taken as a free-standing, self-contained course, or as the first year of the full
Advanced Level. It is therefore suitable both for the keen linguists who intend to progress to A Level and for those who
are simply looking to put some breadth into their choice of AS subjects. The WJEC syllabus is followed.
