Subject Description

Teacher in Charge: Glenn Wilson.

This course will appeal to students who already have 18 months of Spanish behind them and who are keen to become more fluent in one of the world’s most spoken languages.  Students will develop their reading, listening, writing and speaking skills through the study of topics of immediate relevance to young people such as home and family, friends, daily life, school, interests and outings.  Students will learn to talk about the past and the future as well as the present, and they will develop their knowledge of the Spanish-speaking world.  Three of the four available achievement standards will be formally assessed during the course.
