Year 11 Spanish (SPA)

Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Mrs M. Peltomaki.

Year 11 Spanish (SPA)

WHAT WILL I LEARN? 

Level 1 Spanish is a consolidation and extension of the language learning of Years 9 and 10. By engaging with this subject, students develop the ability to communicate in Spanish and connect meaningfully with people in different communities around the world. Languages and cultures play a key role in developing personal, community, national, and global identities. Through Spanish, students learn how to engage with the world around them in appropriate ways and become global citizens. As students acquire the skills of both communicative and intercultural competence, they reflect simultaneously on their own personal identities and explore their own culture(s) from a new perspective. There is a focus on both spoken and written communication of personal information, ideas and opinions in different situations.

Pathway

WHAT COULD THIS SUBJECT LEAD TO?
Level 2 Spanish - It is essential to complete Level 1 prior to the Level 2 or Level 3 courses. Spanish could lead to a diverse range of careers e.g. international business, immigration, custom officer, consultant, translator, diplomatic service, tourism, hospitality, and many more. Learning a second language develops skills highly sought after by business, government departments and private enterprises (oral and written communication, team working, interpersonal and intercultural awareness, analytical, strategic and conceptual thinking amongst others). It also increases your awareness of your own language and makes learning further languages easier.
