Description

The course focuses on developing students' ability to read and write Spanish of a level commensurate with original texts drawn from contemporary cultural and scholarly debates.

This second-semester course emphasizes language acquisition through an active communicative approach. Cultural information will be presented in the form of textual readings and audiovisual tapes for further debate in class. Students will also improve their writing skills through the regular practice of compositions and a short essay. It is important that students develop the art of communicating critical thoughts in Spanish and be active learners in the classroom.

Prerequisites

SPAN201 or a placement test. Note: This course assumes a relatively high level of proficiency in the Spanish language. Even well prepared high school students should therefore enrol for the prerequisite course SPAN201 before trying to enter SPAN202.

Timetable Note

Availability of streams may depend on enrolment numbers.
