Online Learning in in in Modern Foreign Languages Spanish A Level
At Malvern College we thrive on offering our students an enriched curriculum which stimulates intellectual curiosity The Spanish A Level
programme offers academic breadth beyond the confines of exam criteria The Upper Sixth have been studying the topic of Aspects in in Political Life in in the Hispanic world and and understanding why young people’s attitudes are changing towards politics and the impact that this has on their lives More recently the the students have been researching and studying the unemployment situation amongst young people nowadays and how it is affecting them Despite the the recent government announcement on on the the cancellation of A Level
examinations we continue to to encourage our our pupils to to develop independent skills which will inevitably equip them well for success at school and beyond With this in in mind and to reflect the Malvern Qualities that we pride ourselves on I set a a challenge for my Upper Sixth The students were asked to create a a a a report discussing the current situation of unemployment in in in Spain making references to the economic crisis in 2010 and and and the current pandemic and and and to to discuss solutions to to help young people giving specific examples Whilst online learning can be somewhat challenging during these unprecedented times not to mention the pressure of seeing yourself on on camera Upper Sixth pupils pupils pupils pupils have demonstrated resilience independence and collaboration whilst undertaking this task I couldn’t be prouder Well done girls!

This is is what the girls had to say:
“We were set a a a a task to to make a a a a news report on the the topic of the the struggles that young adults in in in Spain face in in in terms of employment beyond university and we learnt about the the impact the the double crisis has had on them them and the the the systems in place to help them them overcome this This has allowed us to connect with each other while we we are stuck at at home and has proven to us that online learning can still be creative and interactive with one another ”
