Brief description of the course

Achieving the intended results requires active participation and conscious planning of one's language learning. Practice of the vocabulary and grammar introduced during contact sessions is carried out primarily through independent study. During seminars, exercises are corrected collaboratively and the acquired knowledge is applied in order to develop oral expression and produce written texts without the use of artificial intelligence. The course covers Spanish pronunciation, stress, and spelling, as well as basic vocabulary and grammar for describing people, preferences, schedules, present activities, places, and climate. Topics include number and gender agreement of nouns and adjectives; numerals; the use of articles, pronouns, and prepositions; the infinitive form of verbs; reflexive verbs; transitive and intransitive verbs; the conjugation of regular and irregular verbs in the present indicative; and verbal periphrases. Students learn to understand and convey, including summarising, information from simple descriptive, informative, and narrative texts and to compose such texts independently. The course provides the foundation for attaining A1-level proficiency in Spanish, as defined by the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), across all language skills: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. It also creates opportunities to apply acquired knowledge in both written and oral communication and develops the ability to set objectives, plan, and reflect on one's own language learning.
