| Learning outcomes |
|
The main goal is improving all of the four language competences in Spanish: both active (speaking and writing) and passive (listening and reading). Even though the understanding of grammatical issues plays a crucial role in learning a foreign language, particularly within philological studies, special emphasis is put on the so called communicative competence of the students as well. It allows them to deal with most of the situations they can experience in Spanish speaking countries. Teaching is in all aspects based on the principles of the Common European Framework of Reference for teaching foreign languages.
Strengthening the competences of common reference level B2 and acquiring level C1: - Listening: understanding long speeches, even without clear structure. Watching Spanish TV and movies without difficulties. - Reading: understanding texts (factual and of fiction), technical articles even outside philology. - Oral skills and speaking interaction: mastering the language (flexibly and efficiently) for social/working purposes and articulation of own thoughts and opinions. Describing complicated topics and drawing appropriate conclusions. - Writing skills: clear articulation and organization of texts, writing detailed letters, essays or messages on complicated topics. |
