Spanish Advanced Conversation
Your Course
This course aims to provide revision and extension for those who have passed AS level or achieved a broadly equivalent standard of language skill, and for those who wish to go further without the immediate prospect of examination. It will concentrate on active language use and on reinforcement of grammatical elements covered during the AS course. The course employs a communicative approach and students will have the maximum opportunity to participate in the class through role plays, debates, expressing their views etc. The course will also give attention to aspects of the history, economy and culture of Spanish- speaking countries.
Learning Outcomes

· Communicate with increased accuracy and confidence in Spanish
