This course continues to build on SPAN1001. The primary aim of this course is to further develop students' reading, writing, listening comprehension and conversational skills in the Spanish-language at an A1/A2 level in the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. Teaching is based on a communicative approach to language learning simulating real-life situations in the classroom. Cultural aspects of the Hispanic World are introduced through the language classes.
