Spanish 1

Description

Spanish has become the second world language and will gain more and more importance in the future within the context of globalisation. As a result, knowing Spanish is a trump card in quite some business sectors. Spanish is not only the language of more than 45 million Spanish people. This language is also the key to commercial activities in 20 countries in South and Central America. Our approach is a communicative one: grammar and vocabulary are covered to enable students to communicate in a Spanish context. Key objectives of the course and competence levels to be attained Students can integrate the vocabulary which is necessary to deal with common situations (see programme contents) in sentences. Students can recognise the most important grammatical structures in a text and use them correctly in (translation) exercises. Students can hold a simple conversation about a general topic. ERS: Students acquire an understanding of the Spanish language and culture. That enables them to frame ERS-issues in the Spanish-speaking context.
