Course description
This course will consolidate and build on the skills acquired in SPAN1020 and it will prepare students for further study and experiences with speakers of Spanish, whether from Spain, Latin America ¿or from other regions where the language is used. ¿While speaking and listening will continue to be the primary focus of our activities, there will be an additional focus on ¿reading and writing and development of intercultural awareness. In addition to linguistic skills, the course will also explore the colonial history of the language and invite you to think about and critically reflect on the ¿resulting intersectional diversities (racial, linguistic, and cultural, etc.) that characterise the Spanish-speaking world today.¿
Our teaching approach centres on task-oriented language acquisition practices designed to help you progress your ability towards the 'B1.1 Threshold' level of linguistic competency described in the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) ¿[Click to self-assess your CEFR level]¿and prepare you to undertake Spanish study at Intermediate Level (SPAN2020, B1.2).¿ Please read the ¿Assumed Background¿ section above to make sure this is the right course for you.
