What is the course about?

The course aims to enable students to communicate in a Spanish-speaking country in everyday situations and to enjoy the language and culture of Spanish speaking countries.

What will we cover?

Daily routine, making plans, describing your home, clothes, the weather, talking about the past.

What will I achieve?
By the end of this course you should be able to...

- describe your daily routine
- make plans to meet with someone
- talk about clothes
- talk about the weather
- give advice
- talk about your life.

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

Students should have completed Spanish 1: modules 1 and 2 or have an equivalent knowledge 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.
You will also need to be able to respond to simple instructions and explanations, as well as read course documents, in English. You will need to be at ease with the use of numbers for daily activities (e.g. using money, telling the time, using the 24 hour clock, reading timetables). It would also be helpful if you had some knowledge of basic grammar terminology such as: a verb, a noun and conjugation.

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

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?

When I've finished, what course can I do next?
