Course aims

To provide the bases for the acquisition of competences in oral and written Spanish at the C1 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Language.
In this course, the notions learnt in previous levels will be improved with the study of particular feautures of the language in order for students to be able to use a more specific and highbrow register of Spanish in every language skill. This will thus mean that the presence of current sociocultural events and interculturality will be the context offered to start working linguistic aspects of the language.

Brief description of the course

Each unit of the course will start with a written text presenting a context which is controversial in the current sociopolitical scene in Spain or any other Spanish speaking countries. Attention will be paid to new lexis, specially the one offering the students a higher register for their future compositions. A deeper study of each unit’s controversial contexts will be carried out through a video (short movie, documentary...) to work the oral comprehension. Next a new grammar notion will be studied and will also be linked to the kind of academic text that the students will have to produce (after analysing an example). The unit will end with an oral debate about the topic seen throught the unit.
The pre-requisite for the registration is B2.2 level in Spanish.
