Year 12 Spanish: 'Community contexts'
In Year 12 Spanish, students engage in sustained interactions and produce extended texts as they explore the views of others and develop and share personal perspectives.
Students will learn to handle more complex language in order to discuss areas of interest of young people and express and justify ideas and opinions as well as supporting and challenging the ideas and opinions of others.
By the end of year 12, students will be able to talk, respond, read, listen and write more confidently using increasingly complex and varied language and they will have a greater understanding of the culture.
You will participate in the Spanish Immersion Day at school and participate in exciting National competitions such as the Stanza Debate and the Speech.
