Spanish lessons are booming in schools across England despite the general decline of modern foreign languages taught in classes.
While children learning French or German has dramatically declined
from the previous two decades, pupils learning Spanish at GCSE level has
increased from 29,000 to 85,000 between 1995 and 2015.
Students taking Spanish A-level has also risen from 4,095 in 1996 to 7,608 in 2015, according to a recent <a href="http://researchbriefings.parliament.uk/ResearchBriefing/Summary/CBP-7388">House of Commons Library research paper</a> on language teaching in English schools written by Robert Long and Paul Bolton.
