Year 11 Spanish: 'Everyday contexts'

This course has a strong communication focus, and it also covers Spanish language, grammar and Hispanic culture. 

Topics covered will include a more in-depth look at the family and self, daily routine, fitness and leisure, home and country, holidays, travel, school, hobbies, shopping and health.

By the end of the year, students will be able to converse, respond, read, listen and write beyond their more immediate environment, for example, past and future events. They will be able to produce language about their own interests and give opinions and they will have a more rounded understanding of the culture.

Students will have the opportunity to learn more in-depth about cultural aspects of Spain and Latin America through research and fun projects. They will have the opportunity to participate in the Spanish Immersion Day at school and participate in exciting National competitions such as the Stanza Debate and the Speech. 

In Year 11, students start to prepare for NCEA.

For internal assessments, we offer the Interaction standard (A.S. 91972 v2 Spanish 1.1 - Interact in spoken Spanish and respond to information, ideas, and opinions).

NOTE: There is an option to do a written Spanish task (A.S. 91973 v2 Spanish 1.2 - Communicate in Spanish for a chosen purpose).
