Year 13 Spanish: 'Global contexts'

This course aims to continue Spanish and extend students in the skills of reading, listening, speaking and writing and to prepare students for NCEA Level 3.

The overall theme of the course is “Global contexts” and will include coverage of relevant global topics e.g., immigration.  

The study of grammar will be an integral part of the programme and the study of cultural aspects will not be a separate section in the course.

By the end of Year 13 Spanish, students will be able to express and justify their opinions on a number of topics such as global matters, current events, arts and culture in Spanish-speaking countries, history of Spain and Latin American countries. They will also be able to evaluate viewpoints and perspectives.
