NCEA Level 3 Spanish

Course Description

Is fluency in Spanish your goal? Want to be able to strike up a conversation with Spanish-speakers when you are travelling or working overseas? Then Year 13 Spanish is the breakthrough year. Learn how to talk about all kinds of topical issues, such as human rights, animal abuse, discrimination, poverty and education, as well as hold your own when discussing the food, music, festivals and films of Spanish-speaking countries. If you are thinking of going travelling later in life or working overseas, Spanish is the language that unlocks those opportunities in over 20 different countries in the world. 

Year 13 students are invited to extend their language skills even more by being part of the Spanish debating team to compete against other schools, or to study towards the demanding Scholarship exam at the end of the year. 


Recommended Prior Learning

A minimum of 14 credits in Level 2 Spanish, or approval from the Head of Department.

Pathway

Use the interpersonal skills that you will gain from speaking another language to develop your career as a doctor, counsellor, pilot, lawyer, diplomat, actor, teacher, journalist or technology designer.
