What is the course about?
The course aims to enable students to reinforce and consolidate the ability to communicate in Spanish in everyday situations. Ideal for students who have done about 3 years of Spanish and have studied present, past and future tenses (B1.1 level) and are looking to practise more talking and listening skills.
What will we cover?
Topics: holidays, personal experiences, free time, advice and instructions, past habits, plans for the future.
Grammar: simple past, present perfect and imperfect tenses, present continuous tense, comparatives, object pronouns, the imperative and future tense.
What will I achieve?
By the end of this course you should be able to...
- make comparisons
- speak about your experiences
- say what you have and haven’t done
- describe events in the past
- say where you went on holiday last year, what you did and when
- say what you used to do and what people were like in the past
- give advice
- talk about the future
Please note that the above outcomes are flexible as the pace of the lessons will depend on the achievements of the group of students.
What level is the course and do I need any particular skills?
This course is intended for students who have completed Spanish 2 upper or who have an equivalent level of Spanish. For further details of the specific foreign language skills required for this level, please see the languages self-assessment chart at the start of the languages section of our course guide or at http://www.citylit.ac.uk/self-assess-your-level.
How will I be taught, and will there be any work outside the class?
ONE INDEPENDENT STUDY UNIT (to be completed by the Friday of the week starting on the 21st of july 2025):
The independent study unit requires you to complete online activities at your own pace and allows you to receive feedback and guidance from the tutor. The tutor will review your work and provide some feedback before the following (online) lessons and will use your work to plan the following lessons more efficiently.
The independent study unit is therefore as important as the online classes.
THREE ONLINE LESSONS (Tuesday 29th, Thursday 31st of July and Saturday 2nd of August 2025):
These lessons will allow you to revise material/areas of difficulty that the tutor will have identified based on the work you completed in the independent study unit. You will have opportunities to ask questions, clarify doubts and request advice about further study.
Our courses are characterised by spoken interaction and communication. Typical activities include pair work, group work, role plays and games. A range of resources will be used to support your learning including presentations, hand-outs, and audio-visual material.
Homework is highly recommended to consolidate learning.
Are there any other costs? Is there anything I need to bring?
The course is based on the tutor’s own resources.
When I've finished, what course can I do next?
You can join one of our Spanish 2 conversation classes, and/or one of Spanish 3 lower courses in September. Ask your tutor for advice.
