The aim of the introductory semester is to consolidate previously acquired language skills in Spanish (grammar, vocabulary) and language skills (listening, speaking, reading, writing), to further develop them and progress gradually towards B1 CEFR.
Completing this course, students will master the subject matter within the scope of lessons 1 to 3 of the textbook Aula Internacional Plus 3 (see Contents). At the end of the whole course (SJ1-SJ4), students will be able to demonstrate their knowledge of Spanish at B1 level according to CEFR.
