Description: Level 2 assumes that you have either completed level 1 or have a pass at GCSE.
The course will develop communicative competence improving students’ ability to establish social and working relations with speakers of Spanish, to introduce key aspects of Spanish culture, and to handle useful routine writing and reading tasks.
This module will cover the use of Spanish as a means of communication in such situations as may be encountered during daily life or during a period of temporary work in a Spanish speaking country. Vocabulary, grammar and independent learning strategies will be presented for the student to help build a strong foundation for continued Spanish language acquisition beyond this module.
Additional resources: These will be provided for you both in class and in the form of weekly private study learning tasks (available on Moodle).
