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 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.

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.

Tutorial:
An additional one-hour tutorial will be held every Tuesday at 3:00pm in Modern Languages Room 301.
