Course contents

The aim of the course is to acquire skills and competences corresponding to the C1/C2 level of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. The goal is to obtain a good level of specialization in Spanish through the analysis of real documents on different topics related to the Spanish and Hispanic American language and culture. Linguistic, grammatical and lexical skills, both written and oral, will be deepened through exercises and productions. In addition, the main theoretical contents related to the teaching of Spanish as a foreign language (ELE) will be presented, as well as some teaching units of the ELE manuals will be analyzed, in order to detect the main elements and the skills that are developed in them and the fundamental criteria for their design.
