Teaching methods

Practical exercises and explanations will complement each other throughout the course. Multimedia tools, ludic activities and interactive material such as audio and audiovisuals texts will be used to stimulate students' curiosity. Active participation of students in Spanish will be required. Feedback, with comments given by the teacher, will be provided in both a personal, general or group form depending on the type of activity.

Participation is strongly recommended.

Assessment methods

The exam consists of an oral test in Spanish on the theoretical content of the syllabus (study of the texts indicated in the bibliography and during the course, of the teaching material made available in electronic format and of the slides of the lectures).

ERASMUS STUDENTS: It is essential and important that Erasmus students contact the teacher at the beginning of the course.

Teaching tools

Students with SLD or temporary or permanent disabilities. It is necessary to contact the relevant University office (https://site.unibo.it/studenti-con-disabilita-e-dsa/en ) with ample time in advance: the office will propose some adjustments, which must in any case be submitted 15 days in advance to the lecturer, who will assess the appropriateness of these in relation to the teaching objectives.
