SPAN201 is a continuing Spanish course that assumes prior knowledge of Spanish at the second semester (SPAN201) level. This course will build on your existing language skills by reviewing the basic features of Spanish and leading into an intensified examination of more complex structures for both conversational and written Spanish, including a wide range of verb structures. This course has been designed to present an integrated skills approach to intermediate Spanish that develops both receptive and productive skills simultaneously. Consequently, the aim of the course is to continue incrementing the students' ability and confidence in the four key skills of language learning: reading, writing, speaking and listening. At the same time, it will also offer students the opportunity to learn about the culture of the many countries where Spanish is spoken.
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.
The course will consist of a total of four contact hours a week: three lectures and one tutorial. (Notice that the Wednesday classes will take place in the Language Lab. More details regarding your lab classes will be given during your first lecture).
