You will study the language through four main themes. You will consider aspects of Hispanic society such as modern and traditional values, cyberspace and equal rights. You will study multiculturalism in Hispanic society, focussing on immigration, racism and integration. You will also learn about artistic culture, such as modern day idols, Spanish regional identity and cultural heritage, and aspects of political life in the Hispanic world, including monarchies, dictatorships and popular movements. You will also study literary texts and may choose to study a film. You will also complete an individual research project where you will identify and research a subject or key question that you will present and discuss in the speaking assessment.

One 2 hour and 30 min exam on listening, reading and writing, worth 50%; one 2 hour written exam about the set works and a speaking exam, worth 20%; approximately 22 minutes, covering one of the themes studied and your research project, worth 30%.
