Curso de Nivel A de Español

The aim of the Spanish A Level Course is to promote the acquisition of four essential skills: listening to, speaking, reading and writing the Spanish language. It does this within a structure of five sections.

This A Level Course covers the new Edexcel linear syllabus aiming for exams in May/June 2018 or later years.

The course covers the following 8 units:

• Unit 1: La evolución de la sociedad española
• Unit 2: La cultura política y artística en el mundo de habla hispana
• Unit 3: Literature choice: Bodas de sangre by Lorca
• Unit 4: AS Listening, Reading and Translation
• Unit 5: La inmigración y la sociedad multicultural española
• Unit 6: La dictadura franquista y la transición a la democracia
• Unit 7: Literature choice: Crónica de una muerte anunciada by Gabriel García Márquez
• Unit 8: A-level Listening, Reading and Translation

Each lesson begins with a set of clearly stated objectives and an explanation of its place in the overall programme of study. Effective learning is encouraged through frequent activities and self- assessment questions. There are twelve Tutor-Marked Assignments (known as TMAs).

This course prepares students as private candidates so they can book their exams at a suitable exam centre on completion of their studies.

I am Michael Verinder, the managing director of Distance Learning Courses Limited and I have been developing and delivering distance learning courses for over 20 years. Distance Learning Courses Limited is a family based business and my involvement in this area started after my Dad developed our first Webmaster Course back in 1993 I soon ended up doing the course myself and this eventually led to me tutoring the course.

Since then we have gone from strength to strength and we continue to develop innovative course materials and the Distance Learning Centre website was created as a platform to offer a wide range of distance learning courses. The Web Design courses remain a popular course choice but equally we offer a range of courses that can lead directly to specific job roles such as teaching assistant and child care courses that lead to full QCF qualifications or GCSE, IGCSE and A Level Courses which are still massively important for many job roles and further education applications.
