If current trends continue, the subject could overtake French in the near future to become the most popular GCSE language.
Spanish GCSE sees rise in popularity as entries up more than 11% on 2022More teenagers may be taking GCSE Spanish because Spain is a popular holiday destination and the language is more relatable, it has been suggested.
As GCSE results were published, Claire Thomson director of regulation and compliance at the AQA exam board, said: “We think it’s possibly because it’s perceived as being easier to pick up. Spanish is also the most popular language taken at A-level and this may be another factor, Ms Thomson said, adding if the GCSE continues on the same trajectory “it might overtake French”.Ms Thomson said there are positive signs for languages more broadly in this year’s results. French entries have risen slightly, up 1.1%, as have entries for other modern foreign languages.
“Spanish is perceived as being easier to learn, more useful, as it is spoken in a large number of countries, and pupils are more likely to have been to Spain or have relatives or friends that have.
