Year 13 Spanish (Level 3)

Subject Description

Head of Faculty: Miss C. Clech.

Students adopt a more focussed approach in grammar and vocabulary in order to extend their comprehension and production skills. Topics include in depth communication about friends, important events in the past and news events, advertising, future plans, the environment, travelling and playing games. There will also be opportunities for food, yoga and dancing in Spanish.    

Students learn to use language variably and effectively to express and justify their own ideas and opinions and support or challenge those of others. They learn to use and identify the linguistic and cultural forms that guide interpretation and enable them to respond critically to texts.

  • Explore the views of others, developing and sharing personal perspectives. 
  • Engage in sustained interaction and produce extended text. 
  • Analyse ways in which the target language is organised in different texts and for different purposes.
