| Course Description |
The primary goal of this course is to continue to develop proficiency in students' communication skills. It concentrates on selected aspects of Spanish grammar as well as on developing the students reading, conversational and writing skills. Grammatical structures and vocabulary are reviewed and extended. Students are also exposed to more complex texts and audio-visual materials in which the cultures and societies of Spanish-speaking countries are explored further. |
| Learning Outcomes | On successful completion, the students' communicative competence should enable them to function effectively in the predictable communication requirements of a Spanish-speaking environment, and to be able to function adequately in unpredictable situations. They should be able to understand, talk and write on a variety of topics in a more complex Spanish. Furthermore, they should be able to read short literary and current affairs texts and relate them to Spanish-speaking cultures. |
