Spanish
Rationale
The Spanish Curriculum has been designed with the following aims in mind:
To be truly inclusive and support our department vision of “languages for all” so that all students succeed in Spanish
To challenge our students by making Spanish the main mode of communication in the classroom
To encourage the ability to speak spontaneously in Spanish early on
To learn the phonetic patterns of the language in order to develop excellent pronunciation
To teach high-frequency vocabulary and grammatical structures including two time frames (carefully chosen and sequenced thus paving the way for GCSE success)
To teach the expression of opinions and justifications
To expose students to the culture of the Spanish speaking world to inspire a sense of awe, wonder and empathy of otherness
