SPPO1010 is an integrated Spanish language and language skills module, designed to continue learning Spanish after A-level. The module places particular emphasis on the development and application of the four skills (reading, listening, speaking and writing) in a variety of relevant communicative contexts.
- Consolidation of grammar, awareness of register in language, fostering skills in written and spoken Spanish.
- Fluent and accurate expression in both Spanish and English.
This is an integrated language skills module, designed to enhance and consolidate inherited structures, and to provide a firm foundation for Spanish learning in a University context.
The module places particular emphasis on the development of reading and writing skills, and their application in a variety of analytical, rhetorical and communicative contexts. It is intended to be 'contemporary' in its outlook, both in its approach to teaching and learning and also in its invitation to you to become an 'independent language learner', capable of taking charge of your own development as a Spanish speaker.
