SUMMER TASK- Year 12 into Year 13 Individual research project The IRP is one element of the speaking component of the A-level modern languages examinations. You need to choose a subject or a key question which interests you and which relates to a country or countries where Spanish is spoken. You must select relevant information in Spanish from a range of sources, including the internet. One aim of the IRP is to develop your research skills and for you to show your ability to initiate and conduct individual research by analysing and summarising your findings, in order to present and discuss them in the A-level speaking assessment (Paper 3). Your task this summer is to select a suitable topic, to draw a plan and the layout of your project and to complete an initial research from a range of sources. This plan and research should be handed in to your teacher in September. Your teacher will advise you further and provide feedback before you go ahead with your individual research project. Guidance SELECTING A SUITABLE TOPIC You can choose a subject linked to one of the themes or sub-themes or to one of the works you have studied. However, you must not base your research on the same film or literary text that you refer to in your written assessment (Paper 2). Your chosen subject should be challenging enough to allow for at least two sources to be studied and to allow a serious discussion to take place. The A-level Content Advisory Board guidance states that ‘topics should be suitable for an extended discussion involving the expression of views and complex arguments’. Topics the suggest include: politics, sport, the fashion industry, a historical event or building, immigration in the target languages country, a political figure, a musical performer, the computer games industry in the target languages country, a region, gastronomy and a specific major news event. You can also consider topics from the fields of art, the environment and climate change, the media, voluntary organisations, economic issues such as employments or poverty, education, science and technology, multiculturalism, law and order, health policies, agriculture, lifestyle changes, energy policy, migration, the role of the EU, housing and tourism.

Examples of thematic areas: Social issues and trends Political and/or intellectual and/or artistic culture

SELECTION A SUITABLE TITLE Suggested titles: How successful is the Spanish high speed train network? An economic and environmental analysis. This might include a description of the network and the history of its construction, the technology used, facts and figures about speeds, capacity and passenger numbers, costs, future development, its function within a Europe-wide transport network, economic and environmental benefits. To what extent are women equal citizens in Spanish society? Law and reality. The Spanish Civil War: what were its causes and consequences? How has membership of the EU affected the development of Spain? What demographic challenges are faced by Mexico City and how is the city responding? An analysis of wind energy policy in Spain Bull-fighting in Spain: its origins, historical developments and current debates The role of tourism in Barcelona: successes and challenges for the future An evaluation of La sombra del viento, a novel by Carlos Ruiza Zafón. The rivalry between Real Madrid and Barcelona football clubs: its history and modern manifestations Why is Salvador Dalí/ Pablo Picasso so well-known as an artist? An analysis of three major works. RESEARCH SOURCES You need to use and reference a minimum of two and a maximum of ten sources, at least one of which must be an internet source. You should not neglect sources of listening, both audio (eg radio archive podcasts) and video (eg Youtube, Daily Motion and the many news web sites with archived video) You may find FilmotecaEspañola useful. FILTA (Film in Language Teaching Association) is a social space for researchers interested in information about films.

STEP BY STEP STUDENT CHECKLIST SELECTING A TOPIC Which topic interests me most? Have I done some background reading in my first languages and the target languages? Have I made a list of possible topics, presented them to my teacher and discussed which ones would be the most suitable? (if unsure of the topic chosen, email your teacher during the summer holiday to ask her) SUITABILITY OF TOPIC Is my topic rooted completely in the target language society? Is it easy to access appropriate resources? Does the topic allow me to develop interesting information, analysis, ideas and opinions? Is the topic of the right scale (not too broad, not too narrow)? CHOOSING SOURCES AND COLLECTING INFORMATION IN THE TARGET LANGUAGE Have I kept a separate file or section within my A-level file? Have I identified printed and internet sources (minimum 2, maximum 10)? Have I checked the school or college library/resource centre? Have I printed off online sources to highlight and annotate? Have I used any audio or video sources? Have I noted key points and new vocabulary on printed sources? Have I noted statistics, facts and/or quotations I can cite? Have I kept a list of references which I can refer to precisely in the speaking test?
