Spanish

Course summary

The aim of the course is for you to independently and confidently communicate in Spanish using accurate, complex and varied language. You will also be encouraged to explore and understand the modern history, politics and cultural background (influence of music and various customs) and heritage of Spain and other countries and communities where Spanish is spoken. You will study social issues (e.g. traditional and modern values, gender equality, immigration, the influence of celebrities and regional identities) and other trends, films, art and literary works in Spanish speaking countries. This will be done through discussions, debates, oral and written presentations, listening and reading activities, independent research and analysis of authentic sources, using website resources and the internet.
