Schedule
Units courses prerequisite and corequisite
Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program
Learning unit contents
Study of Spanish grammar and practice with four linguistic abilities: reading, oral comprehension, writing and conversation.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
This course is intended to improve knowledge of Spanish morphosyntax and to develop the communication skills acquired during the first year. By the end of the course, students should be able to apply and explain grammar rules, and their communication skills should be equivalent to C1 level in the common European framework of reference.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
Mastery of elementary morphosyntax and basic vocabulary. The Spanish Language I certificate or diploma is, therefore, compulsory.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
The Spanish II course is divided as follows: one hour of theory (flipped classroom method) and two hours of practical work in small groups. Some of the practical work will be completed at home. These three hours are compulsory. One additional hour (reinforcement) will also be organised. This is optional, but highly recommended.
Language and grammar practice is compulsory, as is translation, written exercises and active participation in class.
TI students are only required to follow the theory course.

In the second session, the final grade is made up of the August written exam (70%) and the August oral exam (30%) for all students except TI. For TI students, the written part only covers the theory classes and represents 100% of the final grade. The evaluation will cover all content covered during the year.
The oral exam is individual and covers the content covered in grammar classes and practical work, as well as the mandatory reading covered in class, which students must develop.
Only students who have received a grade of 8/20 or higher in the written exam may sit the oral exam.
