Course Overview Learners will improve their basic knowledge and increase their language communication skills beyond the present tense. This course will start in September and run for 3 terms. We welcome learners with the appropriate level of language in the January and April terms. Learners need to bring the following to the first class: a pen and paper. Audio Material for home use is optional.

Qualification gained: This course does not lead to a formal qualification.

Course Content: This course is for learners who already have a basic knowledge of Spanish, including the present tense. The language skills for everyday situations will be consolidated and expanded. Topics to be covered include everyday activities, shopping, personal information, transport, accommodation and health. Grammar will include the use of past and future tenses, as well as the present tense. Structures will be expanded, using adverbs and adjectives, to enable learners to express themselves more accurately. The language skills to be developed are speaking, listening, reading and writing. These will be practised in a variety of classroom activities including work in pairs and groups, listening to cassettes, reading brochures and writing notes, emails or short letters.

Work Experience: Learners do not need to be in relevant work to undertake this course.

Course Assessment: Progress on this course will be tested through answering handouts, informal quizzes/tests, observation, peer and lecturer feedback, presentation, audio recording and marked written work.

Progression: Learners can progress to Intermediate Spanish or Level 2 Spanish (eg GCSE).

Homework: Homework (reading and assignments) is essential and learners will benefit from undertaking home study of approximately 1 hour per week.
