This course aims to prepare intending Honours students of Hispanic Studies for their compulsory period abroad in a Spanish-speaking country.
The course will develop further Spanish language skills, both receptive and productive. Classes on grammatical
and linguistic analysis will contribute to the development of both sets of
skills. In addition students will complete a structured self learning programme
of aural study and grammatical reinforcement study.

Classes on grammatical and linguistic analysis will contribute to the development of both sets of skills. In addition students will complete a structured self learning programme of aural study and grammatical reinforcement study.
