Interested in Spanish?
Spanish is the second most widely spoken language in the world (over
500 million speakers worldwide) therefore IB students taking Spanish
B 昀椀nd themselves in a strong position to undertake part of their
studies abroad as well as improving their overall competitiveness in
the job market. Many former IB students found having learnt Spanish
essential to be able to study and/or work abroad (Developing Studies,
Journalism, International Relations, NGOs working in Latin America,
Turing Scheme Program).
During this two year course learners will work on a variety of authentic
texts (written and oral) covering a wide range of global topics and
exploring them within the 21 independent countries where Spanish is
an/the o昀케cial language. Students enjoyed the following literature:
Valkiria, Todo lo que Fuimos, Destronada, Castillos de Cartón as well
as the following cinema Seven Days in La Havana, Chico y Rita, Diarios
de motocicleta, Machuca, Tierra y Libertad, Ya No Estoy Aqui, but
the content will vary depending on each year students' interests and
motivations.
