Course contents

SPANISH LANGUAGE EXERCISES associated with the Spanish Linguistics 2 course (Prof. A. Pano Alaman)

Annual Course – Group G-O

Instructor: Dr. Delia Cócera Martínez

OBJECTIVES

The primary objective of the course is to develop independent and flexible linguistic competence, enabling students to:

• understand and produce complex texts, argue coherently and fluently, and use language critically and appropriately for the register and communicative situation.
• interact with a degree of fluency and spontaneity that allows for natural interaction with native speakers.
• produce clear and detailed texts on a wide range of topics, expressing a point of view on a current issue, and highlighting the advantages and disadvantages of various options.

Particular attention will be paid to the appropriate use of morpho-syntactic structures, expanding vocabulary, and intercultural reflection.
