Spanish Language Level

AY2015/2016 Semester 2

Designed for beginner students, this course in basic Spanish teaches the four skills in an integrated manner, using a communicative approach. Through the use of various written and audio-visual materials, students are trained to: provide personal information about themselves (name, address, nationality, occupation, studies, etc.), describe things and people (physical appearance and personality), locate things and people, express habitual actions at specific times, talk about festivities and special events, and express their hobbies and likes/dislikes. In addition to teaching the language, this course also aims at providing students with a global vision of the Spanish and Latin American culture from various perspectives (arts, music, festivals, gastronomy, etc.).
