 \nWe believe languages should appeal to all students. Our new Pearson Edexcel A Level in Spanish has been developed to inspire all students who have an appreciation of the language, literature, film and culture of the Spanish-speaking world.  \nWe’ve listened to feedback from the languages community – subject associations, academicsand advisors, together with hundreds of teachers and students – and have designed a motivating course of study that will enable your students to develop an advanced level knowledge and understanding of the Spanish language, the culture of Spain and other Spanish-speaking countries, as well as practical and valuable language and transferable study skills. This specification will help to prepare students for higher education and enhance their employability profile .  \nInspiring and engaging themes – our qualification features familiar and popular themes as well as some new content that provides clear links to some of the most fundamental and interesting aspects of the culture of the target language country and communities.  \nPopular literary texts and films – we offer a rich choice of literary texts and films that includes contemporary and more classical titles, together with authentic source materials from Spain and the wider Spanish-speaking world.  \nRewards creativity – our assessments place an emphasis on spontaneity and grammar, as well as providing plenty of opportunities for students to apply their knowledge independently and creatively. Clear mark schemes encourage students to develop ideas, use language to persuade and analyse, and give critical responses in their writing and speaking.  \nClear and coherent structure – our qualification has a straightforward structure with four engaging themes – La evolución de la sociedad española; La cultura política y artística en el mundo hispanohablante;","cbCaihT7Foi0z4L1","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaihT7Foi0z4L1","pdf",735579,66,"English","# Summary of Pearson Edexcel Level 3 Advanced GCE in Spanish specification\n## Issue 5 changes\n# Introduction\n## Why choose the Edexcel Level 3 Advanced GCE in Spanish?\n## Supporting you in planning and implementing this qualification\n### Planning\n### Teaching and learning\n# Subject content and assessment information\n## Themes and sub-themes\n## Paper 1: Listening, reading and translation\n## Paper 2: Written response to works and translation\n## Paper 3: Speaking\n## Assessment Objectives\n# Administration and general information\n## Entries\n## Access arrangements, reasonable adjustments, special consideration and malpractice\n## Student recruitment and progression\n# Appendices","[{\"question\":\"What are the key updates in Issue 5 of the Spanish specification?\",\"answer\":\"Issue 5 updates Paper 1 guidance for accessing listening recordings through Secure Download Service and amends speaking assessment administration to require submission of complete, unedited recordings via the Learner Work Transfer portal.\"},{\"question\":\"How is the A Level in Spanish structured across the papers?\",\"answer\":\"It includes externally examined papers for Paper 1 and Paper 2, covering listening/reading/translation and written response with translation, plus a teacher-examiner conducted speaking assessment in Paper 3.\"},{\"question\":\"Which themes and works are studied for this qualification?\",\"answer\":\"The qualification uses four engaging themes and studies these alongside two works (either two literary texts or one literary text and one film), assessed through the papers.\"}]","A Level Spanish - Specification - Issue 5 changes | PDF",1792462777,166]
