Notes
Students with SP 1517 (Introductory Spanish 2) should register for SP 2019 (Level 2 Advanced Introductory Spanish Language).
Overview
This course is designed to consolidate and extend the language skills acquired in the first year courses (SP 1018 and SP 1518, Spanish Language 1 & 2). The course aims to develop students' skills in reading, writing, speaking and listening to Spanish, providing a strong grammar base, and a variety of exercises are designed to develop familiarity with different registers and varieties of Peninsular and Latin-American Spanish. These core elements of the course will be complemented by the analysis of audio-visual material, and small-group oral classes. Overall, the course aims to strike a balance between an analytical, reflective approach to learning and the development of communicative fluency.
Structure
2 one-hour seminars a week; one further tutorial per week.
