Teddington School
Sixth Form
Advanced Level 3 Spanish
Exam Board – AQA
The AQA Examining Board course is designed to enable students to develop their linguistic
skills alongside their understanding of the culture and society of countries where Spanish is
spoken.
Students study social and technological change looking at diversity and the benefits it brings
alongside highlights of Spanish-speaking artistic culture, including music and cinema.
Students also explore the influence of the past on present-day Spanish-speaking communities
and will learn about political engagement and who wields political power in the Spanish-
speaking world.
Throughout their studies, they will learn the language in the context of Spanish-speaking
countries and the issues and influences which have shaped them. Students will study texts and
film and will have the opportunity to carry out independent research on an area of their choice.
Assessment tasks will be varied and cover listening, speaking, reading and writing skills.
