Additional information

The purpose of this course is that students achieve self-confidence in written and oral expression. This level is focused on the strengthening of grammatical tenses, vocabulary development and knowledge of the sociocultural Spanish and Hispano-American context through debates, various texts, auditions and conversations between students and the professor. Students, once they finish the course, will be able to produce simple and coherent texts about topics that are familiar for them or of personal interest. Also, they will be able to face new situations, make complaints, engage in talks about usual issues spontaneously or ask for clarification when they do not understand.

By means of texts analysis, exercises and different activities, which are, intended for students to study and revise, for example, the most difficult verbal tenses. On the other hand, it pursues the correction of common spelling mistakes and the acquisition of lexicon and essential structures that allow them to be able to express themselves safely about usual issues within their fields of interest or speciality.
