Level 1 All students follow modules in Spanish and Portuguese language, which are of a broadly communicative nature, focusing on contemporary social and cultural issues and drawing on authentic materials. Advanced and 'AS' Stage 1 students will take a Spanish Language for Special Purposes strand, which will enable them to develop competence in general employment-related situations. Beginner students will undertake an intensive course, specifically designed to bring them to A-level standard within a year. Students will also take contextual modules introducing them to key concepts and historical moments of Iberian and Latin American culture, literature and society. Levels 2 and 3 Levels 2 and 3 provide the opportunity to build upon the linguistic skills and cultural awareness developed in Level 1. In both years, students take a compulsory core module, comprising advanced language study and a choice of cursillo, or 'mini-modules'. The cursillos centre on intensive language study for ex-beginners (in Level 2), language for professional purposes (Legal Spanish, Business Spanish), or a variety of historical, cultural, linguistic and literary topics. Subjects on offer include: the Mexico-US Border, Translation, The Mexican Periodical Press, Maria Victoria Atencia's Legends of the Self, Larra and Remedios Varo. Depending on their pathway, students can then choose from the range of optional modules which include: Avant-Garde Explorations Encuentros Maravillosos: Exploration and Survival in Latin America Failed Romances of Latin America Reading the Book of Nature Representations of the Mexican Revolution in Literature, Art and Film Rewriting Love in the Renaissance Spanish Memoirs and Autobiographies of the 20th Century The Spanish Enlightenment Theory and Practice of Literary Translation Through a Child's Eyes: Post-Civil War Narratives by Women Towards a Portuguese Post-colonialism World as Stage Click here for more information on modules
