Teaching Methods

The course consists of: (a) classes held by the instructor(s); (b) practical sessions held by the lector(s).

The classes offered by the instructor(s) include both lectures (aimed at providing the necessary theoretical background) and seminars (with students' active participation).

The practical sessions with the lector(s) are highly interactive and are necessary to acquire the language skills needed to successfully complete the final exam.

For these reasons, attendance of both the instructors' and lectors' classes is strongly recommended.

Evaluation methods

Verification of learning:

Assessment for this class consists of a written and an oral exam.
The written exam consists of:
1) Grammar and reading comprehension test (based on the contents of the coursebook and the lector’s sessions): successful completion of this test is a pre-requisite for accessing the other parts of the written exam.
2) Questions and exercises on Spanish phonology and phonetics; morphology; syntax; semantics; pragmatics (check compulsory reading list)
The oral exam consists of:
1) Oral comprehension test (based on the contents of the coursebook)
2) Conversation aimed at testing speaking and oral interaction skills. The conversation will focus on the readings chosen by the student among those recommended by the instructor during the course. It will also aim to test the oral skills covered in the coursebook.
