Teaching methods

On this course will be applied the following methodologies:

- implementation of activities in order to consolidate the knowledge about the Spanish morphosyntactic structures;
- implementation of activities in order to increase the lexicon and to understand the pragmatic connotations;
- implementation of activities in order to consolidate a correct phonologic system and a correct orthography;
- continuous exercises in order to develop the four basic abilities.

Assessment methods

WRITING examination
This course's final evaluation will be made by means of a written exam that students should pass in order to be admitted to the oral exam (only the students with a positive result of 18/30 will be allowed to do the oral exam). The student should demonstrate the knowledge of the different items practised during the course related to the morphosyntactic structures, the lexicon, the writing ability and the translation. Questions will be especifically related to the grammar indicated in the bibliography. The use of any type of dictionaries will be forbidden.

ORAL examination
Once the writing exam will be passed and no more than four sessions after the writing examination, the student will be allowed to do the oral exam. He/she should demonstrate that he/she knows the morphosyntactic, semantic and pragmatic contents presented during the course in an oral explanation of the texts of the dossier presented by the assistants.
