Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes
Basic knowledge of Spanish in a wide variety of situations with the aim to develop learner's confidence in language learning, understanding and responding to others in appropriate situations.
All units are topic-based and introduce a fundamental aspect of structure. Each unit is subdivided into several, stand-alone sections allowing the main topic to be developed and diversified, focusing on many aspects of everyday life and allowing the presentation of subsidiary grammatical items and lexical areas. |
Assessment Information
| Language exercises, two assessments in weeks 1-11 worth 40% of continuous assessment mark and may be accompanied by computer-based language work and the Degree exam at the end of semester worth 60%. |
Special Arrangements
| This course is open to all students. DELC students may only take this course if it over and above their full credit load, as in a non credit bearing course. |
