Spanish Beginners

About the subject

In this subject Students develop the skills of listening, speaking, reading, and writing, and use information and communication technologies, to create and engage effectively with a range of spoken, written, and multimodal texts in Spanish. Students explore the three interconnected themes of Relationships, Lifestyles, and Experiences from the perspectives of ‘The Personal World’ and ‘The Spanish speaking Communities’.

Students develop and apply linguistic and intercultural knowledge, understanding, and skills by:

• interacting with others in Spanish in interpersonal situations
• creating texts in Spanish for specific audiences, purposes, and contexts
• analysing texts that are in Spanish to interpret meaning
• comparing languages and how they work as a system
• reflecting on the ways in which culture is created, expressed, and communicated through language.

Bilingual dictionary (Spanish to English, English to Spanish) is highly recommended.
