Content
At the end of the course students are expected to have reached a B2 level of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages regarding listening and reading comprehension and a B1+ level regarding spoken and written skills.
The course is centered on the communication and uses also a communicative method. Therefore, the elements of the code are not acquired by the study of lists of vocabulary or the structural approach of grammar exclusively. These elements are built-in in significant contexts and grouped according to functional contents. These contents are practiced with exercises requiring the development of an integral communicative competence.
The didactic materials include very elaborate grammatical tables and exercises of systematization, but the typology of exercises is very heterogeneous: songs, games, debates, articles, advertisements, comical sketches, films, etc.
Teaching methods
The course uses a communicative method.
Evaluation methods
Continuous assessment (various written tests and an oral test throughout the year and work to be returned).
