Notes
This course is run over the full session. Assessed in the summer diet for SP 4003. One half-session of this course may be completed during residence abroad for students following Mode B Hispanic Studies programmes.
Overview
This course is topic-based, and aims to enable students to identify and use, accurately and fluently, a wide range of vocabulary and linguistic registers. Reading and writing skills are honed though the exploitation of a wide variety of literary, journalistic and other Spanish and Latin-American texts. Skills and techniques for beginning advanced translation into Spanish will be introduced. Aural and oral skills will be further developed through the linguistic exploitation of Spanish and Latin-American programmes and films, and other activities. Special attention will be paid to those advanced grammatical areas which are still likely to cause difficulty to students. The course curriculum reflects the emphasis placed on self-directed learning and private study at this level.

Assessment
1st Attempt: 1 three-hour written examination (75%) and 1 oral examination (25%) (for those students not continuing to Senior Honours only see Note(s) above).
