Description:

SP Intermediate Spanish is a 3 credit course in Spanish language which covers material traditionally taught over one semester of intermediate Spanish. After a general review aimed at reinforcing language skills and filling in possible gaps, the course will focus on the new program. The new grammer contents will be introduced within specific contexts, either dialogues or short readings that will highlight cultural aspects. Grammar explanations, drill exercises and performing activities, all conducted in Spanish, will follow. Students are often expected to work in groups or in pairs with teacher support; interaction and participation in class are encouraged in various ways: through role-plays, simulations, presentations, games, etc. All abilities, receptive and productive, will be involved and therefore developed carrying out a task: all kinds of taks will be chosen on the basis of learners' needs outside the classroom and will be related to real-life. Tasks of any kind require the activation of a range of appropriate general competences. In this perspective the syllabus is designed to develop not only linguistic but sociolinguistic and pragmatic competences to use the language not only appropriately but in relation to specific situations.
