Course outline

What is the course about?

To give students a general knowledge of Spanish and Latin American literature and history and to enable students to discuss literary texts in Spanish.

What topics will we cover?

This term we will read "La verdad sobre el caso Savolta" by Eduardo Mendoza (Publisher: Booket).

By the end of this course you should be able to:

-have a better knowledge of the author/s and his/her work
-place the text studied in its historical and cultural contexts
-feel more confident reading and speaking Spanish.

What level is the course and do I need any particular skills?

This course is for students with an advanced level of Spanish. Students should also be able to read literary texts in Spanish and to participate in discussions in Spanish. For further details of the specific foreign language skills required for this level, please see the languages self-assessment chart, using the link at the top of this page. You can also find the chart at the start of the languages section in our course guide. You will also need to be able to understand basic spoken and written information in English (e.g. simple instructions, course documents) and be at ease with the use of numbers for daily activities (e.g. using money, telling the time etc).

How will I be taught, and will there be any work outside the class?

The class will be conducted in Spanish. Each week students will read set chapters from the book in preparation for the sessions. In class students will read passages from the book and discuss (in pairs and groups) content, historical background and style. The tutor will provide some documentation and use films when possible.

Are there any other costs? Is there anything I need to bring?

Students should buy "La verdad sobre el caso Savolta" by Eduardo Mendoza. The tutor will provide extra material and documentation.
