Spanish
Junior Cycle

¡ Bienvenido al Departamento de Español! 
Welcome to the Spanish Department.

In the Junior Cycle Spanish is taught using all 4 key language skills of reading, writing, speaking and listening. Learners are introduced to topics including family, school, past times, holidays etc and learn to write letters and translate sentences. We focus on vocabulary and grammar and all aspects of the language including the culture of Spanish speaking countries – fiestas, food, dancing and music. We promote interactive and collaborative learning through the use of technology such as iPads and language apps.

The Junior Certificate Exam is divided into two sections :
  • Aural - 45% 
  • Written paper - 55%.
