Course Catalogue A-Z
Spanish
(Edexcel)
The course builds upon all the essential skills from GCSE, giving pupils the opportunity
to develop their command of the language. This course will broaden pupil horizons and
language skills are particularly valued by employers.
There are three units of study for A level:
• Listening, reading and translation: listening and reading comprehension questions
related to topics studied during the course combined with a translation from Spanish
into English.
• Written response to works and translation: an essay on a literary text pupils have
studied, an essay on a film they have studied and a translation from English into
Spanish.
• Speaking: a speaking test where pupils will talk about a subject that interests them and
discuss an area of independent research.
This means that pupils will study one work of literature and one film in Spanish and they will
then have to write an essay on each in Spanish.
Entry requirements:
Grade 7 or higher at GCSE.
